Public Footpath

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or footpath:

    George Shears ... was hanged in a barn near the store. The rope was thrown over a beam, and he was asked to walk up a ladder to save the trouble of preparing a drop for him. “Gentlemen,” he said, “I am not used to this business. Shall I jump off or slide off?” He was told to jump.
    —For the State of Montana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Jog on, jog on, the footpath way,
    And merrily hent the stile-a.
    A merry heart goes all the day,
    Your sad tires in a mile-a.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
