Long Roll

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or roll:

“Indeed it is better to postpone, lest either we complete too little by hurrying, or wander too long in completing it.”
—Tertullian (c. 150–230)

“There was somewhat military in his nature, not to be subdued, always manly and able, but rarely tender, as if he did not feel himself except in opposition. He wanted a fallacy to expose, a blunder to pillory, I may say required a little sense of victory, a roll of the drum, to call his powers into full exercise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
