Famous quotes containing the words flying and/or pace:
“And more I may not write of, for they that cleave
The waters of sleep can make a chattering tongue
Heavy like stone, their wisdom being half silence.
How shall I name you, immortal, mild, proud shadows?
I only know that all we know comes from you,
And that you come from Eden on flying feet.
”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“We judge a horse not only by its pace on a racecourse, but also by its walk, nay, when resting in its stable.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
