Miles Downstream

Famous quotes containing the words miles and/or downstream:

    Isn’t it god’s own image? tramping his thirty miles a day
    after partridges, or a little rubber ball?
    wouldn’t you like to be like that, well off, and quite the thing?
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Building up a family’s fortune is like moving earth with a needle, but losing a family’s fortune can be as swift as a boat rushing downstream with the current.
