Famous quotes containing the word days:

    It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy;Mit is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    Stately as a galleon, I sail across the floor,
    Doing the military two-step, as in the days of yore.
    Joyce Grenfell (1910–1979)

    There are days when the great are near us, when there is no frown on their brow, no condescension even; when they take us by the hand, and we share their thought.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
