Famous quotes containing the words times, world and/or champions:
“Forgive you?—Oh, of course, dear,
A dozen times a week!
We women were created
Forgiveness but to speak.”
—Ella Higginson (1862–1940)
“For the world hath lost his youth, and the times begin to wax old.”
—Apocrypha. 2 Esdras, 14:10.
“Did all the lets and bars appear
To every just or larger end,
Whence should come the trust and cheer?
Youth must its ignorant impulse lend—
Age finds place in the rear.
All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
