Epoch Times

Famous quotes containing the words epoch and/or times:

“The death of a dear friend, wife, brother, lover, which seemed nothing but privation, somewhat later assumes the aspect of a guide or genius; for it commonly operates revolutions in our way of life, terminates an epoch of infancy or of youth which was waiting to be closed, breaks up a wonted occupation, or a household, or style of living, and allows for the formation of new ones more friendly to the growth of character.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Times of heroism are generally times of terror, but the day never shines in which this element may not work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
