Year Day

Famous quotes containing the words year and/or day:

    They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    Venus, take my votive glass:
    Since I am not what I was,
    What from this day I shall be,
    Venus, let me never see.
    Matthew Prior (1664–1721)
