Year System

Famous quotes containing the words year and/or system:

    One of the sadder things, I think,
    Is how our birthdays slowly sink:
    Presents and parties disappear,
    The cards grow fewer year by year,
    Till, when one reaches sixty-five,
    How many care we’re still alive?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Ethics and religion differ herein; that the one is the system of human duties commencing from man; the other, from God. Religion includes the personality of God; Ethics does not.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
