Famous quotes containing the word days:

    Water, earth, air, fire, and the other parts of this structure of mine are no more instruments of your life than instruments of your death. Why do you fear your last day? It contributes no more to your death than each of the others. The last step does not cause the fatigue, but reveals it. All days travel toward death, the last one reaches it.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    I was seven of the nine days out of the wonder before you
    came.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle...
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 7:6.
