Arlington Avenue

Famous quotes containing the words arlington and/or avenue:

    Friendless and faint, with martyred steps and slow,
    Faint for the flesh, but for the spirit free,
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    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)
