Miles

Famous quotes containing the word miles:

    If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
    —Chinese proverb.

    Lao-tzu.

    Alack, the night comes on, and the bleak winds
    Do sorely ruffle; for many miles about
    There’s scarce a bush.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
