Famous quotes containing the word walks:
“Columbus has sailed westward of these isles by the mariner’s compass, but neither he nor his successors have found them. We are no nearer than Plato was.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In proportion as our inward life fails, we go more constantly and desperately to the post office. You may depend on it, that the poor fellow who walks away with the greatest number of letters, proud of his extensive correspondence, has not heard from himself this long while.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Falstaff sweats to death,
And lards the lean earth as he walks along.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
