Famous quotes containing the word walking:

    Resting on your laurels is as dangerous as resting when you are walking in the snow. You doze off and die in your sleep.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.”
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 1:7.

    With monstrous head and sickening cry
    And ears like errant wings,
    The devil’s walking parody
    On all four-footed things.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
