Famous quotes containing the words long, count and/or calendar:
“In the long run, only woman remains true to mankind’s foremost mission. Whatever she achieves, she achieves through herself, and alone. Man’s master is the—public.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Do not count on much from the future, nor trouble your mind about the past.”
—Chinese proverb.
“To divide one’s life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)
