Famous quotes containing the words minute and/or mile:
“The rider, the birds that range
From cloud to tumbling cloud,
Minute by minute they change;”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“We got our new rifled muskets this morning. They are mostly old muskets, many of them used, altered from flint-lock to percussion ... but the power of the gun was fully as great as represented. The ball at one-fourth mile passed through the largest rails; at one-half mile almost the same.... I think it an excellent arm.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
