Time Takes Place

Famous quotes containing the words time, takes and/or place:

    The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

    the wiser mind
    Mourns less for what Age takes away,
    Than what it leaves behind.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    Not in Utopia,—subterranean Fields,—
    Or some secreted Island, Heaven knows where!
    But in the very world, which is the world
    Of all of us,—the place where in the end
    We find our happiness, or not at all!
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
