Days

Famous quotes containing the word days:

    When a Man is in a serious Mood, and ponders upon his own Make, with a Retrospect to the Actions of his Life, and the many fatal Miscarriages in it, which he owes to ungoverned Passions, he is then apt to say to himself, That Experience has guarded him against such Errors for the future: But Nature often recurs in Spite of his best Resolutions, and it is to the very End of our Days a Struggle between our Reason and our Temper, which shall have the Empire over us.
    Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    The tenth day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Ten pipers piping,
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 64–66)

    For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance.
    Mignon McLaughlin (b. c. 1915)
