American Short

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or short:

    I pledge you—I pledge myself to a new deal for the American people.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant and which know me not, I am frightened and am astonished at being here rather than there. For there is no reason why here rather than there, why now rather than then.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
