Famous quotes containing the words the year, ring, magazine, fights and/or year:

    “For myself I found that the occupation of a day-laborer was the most independent of any, especially as it required only thirty or forty days in a year to support one. The laborer’s day ends with the going down of the sun, and he is then free to devote himself to his chosen pursuit, independent of his labor; but his employer, who speculates from month to month, has no respite from one end of the year to the other.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Look how my ring encompasseth thy finger;
    Even so thy breast encloseth my poor heart.
    Wear both of them, for both of them are thine.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “It is as often a weakness in the aged to dictate to the young, as it is folly in the young to slight the warnings of the aged.”
    —H., U.S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 230-3 (May 1828)

    “Kids win this’n’that every day. Thousands of them. One out of a hundred fights professionally. One out of a thousand’s worth watchin’, one out of a million’s worth coffee and doughnuts.”
    —Abraham Polonsky (b. 1910)

    “Ring out the old, ring in the new,
    Ring happy bells, across the snow:
    The year is going, let him go;
    Ring out the false, ring in the true.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
