Famous quotes containing the words son and/or miles:
“As the son straddled
the husband’s back
when he fell at her feet,
the housewife,
though burnt by certain anger,
began to laugh.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“To be seventy years old is like climbing the Alps. You reach a snow-crowned summit, and see behind you the deep valley stretching miles and miles away, and before you other summits higher and whiter, which you may have strength to climb, or may not. Then you sit down and meditate and wonder which it will be.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
