Famous quotes containing the words short and/or stay:
“The farmer imagines power and place are fine things. But the President has paid dear for his White House. It has commonly cost him all his peace, and the best of his manly attributes. To preserve for a short time so conspicuous an appearance before the world, he is content to eat dust before the real masters who stand erect behind the throne.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Travelling is like flirting with life. It’s like saying, “I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.””
—Lisa St. Aubin de Terán (b. 1953)
