Arlington Avenue

Famous quotes containing the words arlington and/or avenue:

    He may have been a master of his fate,
    And of his atoms,—ready as another
    In his emergence to exonerate
    His father and his mother;
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    Extemporaneous speaking should be practised and cultivated. It is the lawyer’s avenue to the public.... And yet there is not a more fatal error to young lawyers than relying too much on speechmaking. If any one, upon his rare powers of speaking, shall claim an exemption from the drudgery of the law, his case is a failure in advance.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
