Famous quotes containing the word years:

    It takes ten years to grow good trees, but a hundred years to grow good people.
    Chinese proverb.

    The legend of Felix is ended, the toiling of Felix is done;
    The Master has paid him his wages, the goal of his journey is won;
    He rests, but he never is idle; a thousand years pass like a day,
    In the glad surprise of Paradise where work is sweeter than play.
    Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)
