Short Distance

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or distance:

    Iambics march from short to long;—
    With a leap and a bound the swift Anapaests throng;
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.
    Nelson Mandela (b. 1918)
