Famous quotes containing the words beginning of, beginning and/or century:

    Before the beginning of years
    There came to the making of man
    Time, with a gift of tears;
    Grief, with a glass that ran;
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl.
    —J.M. (James Matthew)

    The fly sat upon the axel-tree of the chariot-wheel and said, What a dust do I raise!
    Aesop (6th century B.C.)
