Famous quotes containing the words human and/or days:
“I do not remember anything which Confucius has said directly respecting man’s “origin, purpose, and destiny.” He was more practical than that. He is full of wisdom applied to human relations,—to the private life,—the family,—government, etc. It is remarkable that, according to his own account, the sum and substance of his teaching is, as you know, to do as you would be done by.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Cast your mind on other days
That we in coming days may be
Still the indomitable Irishry.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
