Em Short Handed

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or handed:

“It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. The act of dying is not of importance, it lasts so short a time.”

“Never is a historic deed already completed when it is done but always only when it is handed down to posterity.

World history ... only comprises that tiny lighted sector which chanced to be placed in the spotlight by poetic or scholarly depictions.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
