Span Performance

Famous quotes containing the words span and/or performance:

“A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”
—Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)

“To vote is like the payment of a debt—a duty never to be neglected, if its performance is possible.”
