Days

Famous quotes containing the word days:

    Every moment instructs, and every object: for wisdom is infused into every form. It has been poured into us as blood; it convulsed us as pain; it slid into us as pleasure; it enveloped us in dull, melancholy days, or in days of cheerful labor; we did not guess its essence, until after a long time.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    These are days when no one should rely unduly on his “competence.” Strength lies in improvisation. All the decisive blows are struck left-handed.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    The tenth day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Ten pipers piping,
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 64–66)
