Year Day

Famous quotes containing the words year and/or day:

“Material advancement has its share in moral and intellectual progress. Becky Sharp’s acute remark that it is not difficult to be virtuous on ten thousand a year has its applications to nations; and it is futile to expect a hungry and squalid population to be anything but violent and gross.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

“every day they die
Among us, those who were doing us some good,
And knew it was never enough but
Hoped to improve a little by living.”
