Famous quotes containing the words short and/or run:
“Young man—Young man—Your arm’s too short to box with God.”
—James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)
“It is very rare that you meet with obstacles in this world which the humblest man has not faculties to surmount. It is true we may come to a perpendicular precipice, but we need not jump off, nor run our heads against it. A man may jump down his own cellar stairs, or dash his brains out against his chimney, if he is mad.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
