Famous quotes containing the word years:

    Thirty years ago I said, “But how can one be sick?” But now I say, “If only one could find the secret of not being sick, I would not exchange it for all the secrets in the world.”
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Go, and catch a falling star,
    Get with child a mandrake root,
    Tell me, where all past years are,
    Or who cleft the devil’s foot,
    Teach me to her mermaids singing,
    Or to keep off envy’s stinging,
    And find
    What wind
    Serves to advance an honest mind.
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
