Distance Light Travels

Famous quotes containing the words distance, light and/or travels:

    “The Russians imitate French ways, but always at a distance of fifty years.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

    “Heaven doth with us as we with torches do,
    Not light them for themselves; for if our virtues
    Did not go forth of us, ‘twere all alike
    As if we had them not.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Take the instant way,
    For honor travels in a strait so narrow,
    Where one but goes abreast. Keep then the path,
    For emulation hath a thousand sons
    That one by one pursue. If you give way,
    Or hedge aside from the direct forthright,
    Like to an entered tide, they all rush by
    And leave you hindmost.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
