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)
