Famous quotes containing the word years:

    “With care, and skill, and cunning art,
    She parried Time’s malicious dart,
    And kept the years at bay,
    Till passion entered in her heart
    And aged her in a day!”
    —Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850–1919)

    “In foreign policy you have to wait twenty-five years to see how it comes out.”
    —James Reston (b. 1909)
