Famous quotes containing the words unnumbered, state and/or roads:
“The murmuring surge,
That on th’ unnumbered idle pebble chafes,
Cannot be heard so high.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There is such a thing as caste, even in the West; but it is comparatively faint; it is conservatism here. It says, forsake not your calling, outrage no institution, use no violence, rend no bonds; the State is thy parent. Its virtue or manhood is wholly filial.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
