Days

Famous quotes containing the word days:

    Men have made out, that only they can run the world. It’s in about as bad a state as it well can be, but they are proud of their work.
    Ann Oddy, U.S. housekeeper. As quoted in All the Days of My Life, ch. 2 (1913)

    Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay,
    Gone are my friends from the cotton fields away,
    Gone from the earth to a better land I know,
    I hear their gentle voices calling “Old Black Joe.”
    Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1864)

    I had a long day’s work, starting at eight in the morning and ending after nine at night, but in those days [we] ... did not think of our day in terms of hours. We liked our work, we were proud to do it well, and I am afraid that we were very, very happy.
    Louie Mayer (b. c. 1914)
