Worth Avenue, sometimes referred to as the Rodeo Drive of Florida, is an upscale shopping district in Palm Beach, Florida, in the United States. The street stretches four blocks from Lake Worth to the Atlantic Ocean. Worth Avenue also includes smaller alleyways known as Vias off the main avenue. These pedestrian areas distinguish Worth Avenue from other shopping experiences.
Famous quotes containing the words worth and/or avenue:
“I would be ignorant as the dawn
That merely stood, rocking the glittering coach
Above the cloudy shoulders of the horses;
I would be for no knowledge is worth a straw
Ignorant and wanton as the dawn.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Extemporaneous speaking should be practised and cultivated. It is the lawyer’s avenue to the public.... And yet there is not a more fatal error to young lawyers than relying too much on speechmaking. If any one, upon his rare powers of speaking, shall claim an exemption from the drudgery of the law, his case is a failure in advance.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
