Pace

Famous quotes containing the word pace:

    We judge a horse not only by its pace on a racecourse, but also by its walk, nay, when resting in its stable.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
    Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
    To the last syllable of recorded time,
    And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
    The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
    Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
    And then is heard no more: it is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
