Famous quotes containing the words year and/or system:
“look the spangles
that sleep all the year in a dark box
dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine,
the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads,
put up your little arms
and i’ll give them all to you to hold”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)
“Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.”
