Straight Path

Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or path:

    Americans see history as a straight line and themselves standing at the cutting edge of it as representatives for all mankind. They believe in the future as if it were a religion; they believe that there is nothing they cannot accomplish, that solutions wait somewhere for all problems, like brides.
    Frances Fitzgerald (b. 1940)

    If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mouse-trap, than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
