Long Distance

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or distance:

“I duly acknowledge that I have gone through a long life, with fewer circumstances of affliction than are the lot of most men. Uninterrupted health, a competence for every reasonable want, usefulness to my fellow-citizens, a good portion of their esteem, no complaint against the world which has sufficiently honored me, and above all, a family which has blessed me by their affections, and never by their conduct given me a moment’s pain.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

“The distance that the dead have gone
Does not at first appear—
Their coming back seems possible
For many an ardent year.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
