Favorite Quotes

A few of my favorite quotes...

"The heights of great men reached and kept,
were not attained by sudden flight.
But they while their companions slept,
toiled upward in the night."
--------------
"We must not cease from exploration. And the end of our exploring will be to start again where we first began. And know the place for the very first time."
--------------
"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
