Hedge Barton

Famous quotes containing the words hedge and/or barton:

    Take the instant way,
    For honor travels in a strait so narrow,
    Where one but goes abreast. Keep then the path,
    For emulation hath a thousand sons
    That one by one pursue. If you give way,
    Or hedge aside from the direct forthright,
    Like to an entered tide, they all rush by
    And leave you hindmost.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    ... it has always proved that the grandeur of a nation was shown by the respect paid to woman.
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)
