Famous quotes containing the words russia and/or summer:

    “In my opinion it is harmful to place important things in the hands of philanthropy, which in Russia is marked by a chance character. Nor should important matters depend on leftovers, which are never there. I would prefer that the government treasury take care of it.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “Thus sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud,
    And after summer evermore succeeds
    Barren winter, with his wrathful nipping cold;
    So cares and joys abound, as seasons fleet.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
