Famous quotes containing the word short:
“The long time to come when I shall not exist has more effect on me than this short present time, which nevertheless seems endless.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“To finish the moment, to find the journey’s end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom. It is not the part of men, but of fanatics, or of mathematicians, if you will, to say, that, the shortness of life considered, it is not worth caring whether for so short a duration we were sprawling in want, or sitting high. Since our office is with moments, let us husband them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“You’re too short for that gesture. Besides, it went out with Mrs. Fiske.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
