Happy Time

Famous quotes containing the words happy and/or time:

    I believe a man is born first unto himself—for the happy developing of himself, while the world is a nursery, and the pretty things are to be snatched for, and pleasant things tasted; some people seem to exist thus right to the end. But most are born again on entering manhood; then they are born to humanity, to a consciousness of all the laughing, and the never-ceasing murmur of pain and sorrow that comes from the terrible multitudes of brothers.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,
    Old Time is still a-flying:
    And this same flower that smiles to-day,
    To-morrow will be dying.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
