Famous quotes containing the words major and/or events:

    There are three major offenses against filial piety of which not producing an heir is the worst.
    —Chinese proverb.

    Mencius.

    When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness which joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
