Distance Calls

Famous quotes containing the words distance and/or calls:

“After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.”
—Nelson Mandela (b. 1918)

“The timid man calls himself cautious, the sordid man thrifty.”
—Publilius Syrus (1st century B.C.)
