Famous quotes containing the words dates and/or rank:
“Nothing so dates a man as to decry the younger generation.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“I like sometimes to take rank hold on life and spend my day more as the animals do. Perhaps I have owed to this employment and to hunting, when quite young, my closest acquaintance with Nature. They early introduce us to and detain us in scenery with which otherwise, at that age, we should have little acquaintance.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
