Mile Trail

Famous quotes containing the words mile and/or trail:

    May they stumble, stage by stage
    On an endless pilgrimage,
    Dawn and dusk, mile after mile,
    At each and every step, a stile;
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    The trail of the serpent reaches into all the lucrative professions and practices of man. Each has its own wrongs. Each finds a tender and very intelligent conscience a disqualification for success. Each requires of the practitioner a certain shutting of the eyes, a certain dapperness and compliance, an acceptance of customs, a sequestration from the sentiments of generosity and love, a compromise of private opinion and lofty integrity.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
