Famous quotes containing the words common and/or years:
“But neither milk-white rose nor red
May bloom in prison air;
The shard, the pebble, and the flint,
Are what they give us there:
For flowers have been known to heal
A common man’s despair.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“What a hundred years is not enough to build, one day is more than enough to destroy.”
—Chinese proverb.
