Spur Mit Zerleger

Famous quotes containing the words spur and/or mit:

“The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others—this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in American history. It is conspicuous and continuous not because Americans achieve little, but because they dream grandly. The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world’s peoples.”
—George F. Will (b. 1941)

“This summertime must be forgot
MIt will be, if we would or not....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
