The old interests of aristocracy - the romance of action the exalted passions of chivalry and war - faded into the background and their place was taken by the refined and intimate pursuits of peace and civilization.

Together we will build an America where hope is a new job with a paycheck not a faded word on an old bumper sticker.

Before the flowers of friendship faded friendship faded.

The first pages of memory are like the old family Bible. The first leaves are wholly faded and somewhat soiled with handling. But when we turn further and come to the chapters where Adam and Eve were banished from Paradise then all begins to grow clear and legible.

The flowers anew returning seasons bring but beauty faded has no second spring.

'Tis the last rose of summer Left blooming alone All her lovely companions Are faded and gone.
