Famous quotes containing the words find, shortest and/or paths:
“There yet remains but one concluding tale,
And then this chronicle of mine is ended—
Fulfilled, the duty God ordained to me,
A sinner. Not without purpose did the Lord
Put me to witness much for many years
And educate me in the love of books.
One day some indefatigable monk
Will find my conscientious, unsigned work;
Like me, he will light up his ikon-lamp
And, shaking from the scroll the age-old dust,
He will transcribe these tales in all their truth.”
—Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837)
“The shortest answer is doing.”
—English proverb, collected in George Herbert, Jacula Prudentum (1651)
“There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same.”
—Chinese proverb.
