Trail/usage

Famous quotes containing the words trail and/or usage:

“It is not for man to follow the trail of truth too far, since by so doing he entirely loses the directing compass of his mind.”

“Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates—but pages
Might be filled up, as vainly as before,
With the sad usage of all sorts of sages,
Who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore!
The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
