Short

Famous quotes containing the word short:

“The attitude is we live and let live. This is actually an amazing change in values in a rather short time and it’s an example of freedom from religion.”

“Energy falls just short of being joy.”

“It is not growing like a tree
In bulk, doth make man better be,
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May
Although it fall and die that night;
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we just beauties see,
And in short measures life may perfect be.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
