Famous quotes containing the words year and/or problem:

    “Year after year beheld the silent toil
    That spread his lustrous coil;
    Still as the spiral grew,
    He left the past year’s dwelling for the new,
    Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
    Built up its idle door,
    Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more.”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    “War is not a life: it is a situation,
    One which may neither be ignored nor accepted,
    A problem to be met with ambush and stratagem,
    Enveloped or scattered.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
