Famous quotes containing the words finding, shortest and/or paths:
“Scholars dream of finding small facts pregnant with great progeny.”

“The shortest answer is doing.”
—English proverb, collected in George Herbert, Jacula Prudentum (1651)
“Now the hungry lion roars,
And the wolf behowls the moon;
Whilst the heavy ploughman snores,
All with weary task fordone.
Now the wasted brands do glow,
Whilst the screech-owl, screeching loud,
Puts the wretch that lies in woe
In remembrance of a shroud.
Now it is the time of night,
That the graves, all gaping wide,
Every one lets forth his sprite,
In the church-way paths to glide:”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
