Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or walks:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“In many walks of life, a conscience is a more expensive encumbrance than a wife or a carriage.”
—Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)
