Famous quotes containing the words fifteen and/or days:
“Let the realist not mind appearances. Let him delegate to others the costly courtesies and decorations of social life. The virtues are economists, but some of the vices are also. Thus, next to humility, I have noticed that pride is a pretty good husband. A good pride is, as I reckon it, worth from five hundred to fifteen hundred a year.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The rain has spoiled the farmer’s day;
Shall sorrow put my books away?
Thereby are two days lost.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
