The Newly Independent

Famous quotes containing the words newly and/or independent:

    Shew’d him his room where he must lodge that night,
    Pull’d off his Boots, and took away the light:
    If any ask for him, it shall be sed,
    Hobson has supt, and ‘s newly gon to bed.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    We are independent of the change we detect. The longer the lever, the less perceptible its motion. It is the slowest pulsation which is the most vital. The hero then will know how to wait, as well as to make haste. All good abides with him who waiteth wisely; we shall sooner overtake the dawn by remaining here than by hurrying over the hills of the west.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
