Higher Precedence

Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or precedence:

“Wherever a man separates from the multitude, and goes his own way in this mood, there indeed is a fork in the road, though ordinary travelers may see only a gap in the paling. His solitary path across lots will turn out the higher way of the two.”

From the room or loom which takes precedence over it.”
