Famous quotes containing the word path:
“Childhood is an adventure both for children and for their parents. There should be freedom to explore and joy in discovery. The important discoveries for both parents and children seldom come at the points where the path is smooth and straight. It is the curves in that path to adventure that make the trip interesting and worthwhile.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but one who rejects a rebuke goes astray.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 10:17.
“Not once or twice in our rough island-story
The path of booty was the way to glory.”
—Anonymous.
