World Single Distance

Famous quotes containing the words world, single and/or distance:

“Melancholy is at the bottom of everything, just as at the end of all rivers is the sea. Can it be otherwise in a world where nothing lasts, where all that we have loved or shall love must die? Is death, then, the secret of life? The gloom of an eternal mourning enwraps, more or less closely, every serious and thoughtful soul, as night enwraps the universe.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

“A single soldier does not make a general, just as a single tree does not make a forest.”
—Chinese proverb.

“As distance shows a horse’s strength, so time reveals a person’s heart.”
—Chinese proverb.
