Famous quotes containing the words evening and/or oil:
“And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“It is wise to apply the oil of refined politeness to the mechanism of friendship.”
