Narrow

Famous quotes containing the word narrow:

    Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
    Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 7:14.

    From the Sermon on the Mount.

    After reading Howitt’s account of the Australian gold-diggings one evening,... I asked myself why I might not be washing some gold daily, though it were only the finest particles,—why I might not sink a shaft down to the gold within me, and work that mine.... At any rate, I might pursue some path, however solitary and narrow and crooked, in which I could walk with love and reverence.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In a higher phase of communist society ... only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be fully left behind and society inscribe on its banners: from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)
