Harry Emerson Fosdick Quotes
The tragic evils of our life are so commonly unintentional. We did not start out for that poor, cheap goal. That aim was not in our minds at all....Look to the road you are walking on. He who picks up one end of a stick picks up the other.He who chooses the beginning of a road chooses the place it leads to.
