Epochs

Famous quotes containing the word epochs:

    But real action is in silent moments. The epochs of our life are not in the visible facts of our choice of a calling, our marriage, our acquisition of an office, and the like, but in a silent thought by the way-side as we walk; in a thought which revises our entire manner of life, and says,—”Thus hast thou done, but it were better thus.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Even though the world as a whole progresses, youth must always start again from the beginning, and as individuals go through the epochs of the world’s culture.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    The great epochs of our lives occur when we gain the courage to rechristen what is evil in us as what is best.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
