Shortest Path

Famous quotes containing the words shortest and/or path:

“The Gettysburg speech is at once the shortest and the most famous oration in American history. Put beside it, all the whoopings of the Websters, Sumners and Everetts seem gaudy and silly. It is eloquence brought to a pellucid and almost gem-like perfection—the highest emotion reduced to a few poetical phrases.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

“Not once or twice in our rough island-story
The path of booty was the way to glory.”
—Anonymous.
