Famous quotes containing the word days:

    ... The glamour
    Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast
    Down in the flood of remembrance ...
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Oh, talk not to me of a name great in story—
    The days of our youth are the days of our glory;
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    One of the necessary qualifications of an efficient business man in these days of industrial literature seems to be the ability to write, in clear and idiomatic English, a 1,000-word story on how efficient he is and how he got that way.... It seems that the entire business world were devoting its working hours to the creation of a school of introspective literature.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
