Day Fast Pass

Famous quotes containing the words day, fast and/or pass:

    One day I wrote her name upon the strand;
    But came the waves, and washed it away:
    Again, I wrote it with a second hand;
    But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    Today’s pressures on middle-class children to grow up fast begin in early childhood. Chief among them is the pressure for early intellectual attainment, deriving from a changed perception of precocity. Several decades ago precocity was looked upon with great suspicion. The child prodigy, it was thought, turned out to be a neurotic adult; thus the phrase “early ripe, early rot!”
    David Elkind (20th century)

    ... it is easier for a camel to pass through the needle’s eye than for anything really chic to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
    Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
