Famous quotes containing the words long and/or distance:
“Exiled from his friends,
is kept too long distressed

in the sea midst,
a forest island,
haunt of a spirit.”

“After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.”
—Nelson Mandela (b. 1918)
