Path

Famous quotes containing the word path:

    Today brings the sad, glad tidings that Mrs. Abraham Lincoln has passed from that darkness which had fallen upon her path through this life, out into the light and joy of that life toward which her vision has so long been strained.
    Modern education is lethal to children.... We stuff them with mathematics, we pummel them with science, and we use them up before their time.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    Examples are cited by soldiers, of men who have seen the cannon pointed, and the fire given to it, and who have stepped aside from he path of the ball. The terrors of the storm are chiefly confined to the parlour and the cabin.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
    Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven,
    Whilst like a puffed and reckless libertine
    Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
    And recks not his own rede.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
