Runs

Famous quotes containing the word runs:

    The very timber and boards and shingles of which our houses are made grew but yesterday in a wilderness where the Indian still hunts and the moose runs wild.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    When a man of sense happens to be in that disagreeable situation in which he is obliged to ask himself more than once, What shall I do? he will answer himself, Nothing. When his reason points out to him no good way, he will stop short, and wait for light. A little busy mind runs on at all events, must be doing; and, like a blind horse, fears no dangers, because he sees none. Il faut scavoir s’ennuïer.*
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Anybody who runs is a VC. Anybody who stands still is a well-disciplined VC.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
