Famous quotes containing the word seasons:

    “The seasons change their manners, as the year
    Had found some months asleep and leapt them over.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The seasons alter; hoary-headed frosts
    Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose,
    And on old Hiems’ thin and icy crown
    An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
    Is, as in mockery, set.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The men who think of superannuation at sixty-one are those whose lives have been idle, not they who have really buckled themselves to work. It is my opinion that nothing seasons the mind for endurance like hard work. Port wine should perhaps be added.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
