Famous quotes containing the word days:

    “They sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Job 2:13.

    “The days are ever divine as to the first Aryans. They are of the least pretension and of the greatest capacity of anything that exists. They come and go like muffled and veiled figures, sent from a distant friendly party; but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Exodus 20:12, one of the Ten Commandments.
