Famous quotes containing the words time and/or office:

    “The time comes when each one of us has to give up as illusions the expectations which, in his youth, he pinned upon his fellow- men, and when he may learn how much difficulty and pain has been added to his life by their ill-will.”
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    “‘Tis all men’s office to speak patience
    To those that wring under the load of sorrow,
    But no man’s virtue nor sufficiency
    To be so moral when he shall endure
    The like himself.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
