Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or fork:
“The goods of fortune ... were never intended to be talked out of the world.But as virtue and true wisdom lie in the middle of extremes,on one hand, not to neglect and despise riches, so as to forget ourselves,and on the other, not to pursue and love them so, as to forget God;Mto have them sometimes in our heads,but always something more important in our hearts.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
“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.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
