Single Ended

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or ended:

    An error the breadth of a single hair can lead one a thousand miles astray.
    Chinese proverb.

    Biography, in its purer form, confined to the ended lives of the true and brave, may be held the fairest meed of human virtue—one given and received in entire disinterestedness—since neither can the biographer hope for acknowledgment from the subject, not the subject at all avail himself of the biographical distinction conferred.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
