Quotations for miles

Good horses make short miles. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

Sweet is the air with the budding haws,
and the valley stretching for miles below
Is white with blossoming cherry-trees,
as if just covered with lightest snow. [ Longfellow ]

Make short the miles with talk and smiles. [ Proverb ]

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one pace. [ Lao-Tze ]

As wise as Waltham's calf, that ran nine miles to suck a bull. [ Proverb ]

One man affirms that he has rode post a hundred miles in six hours: probably it is a lie; but supposing it to be true, what then? Why, he is a very good post-boy; that is all. Another asserts, and probably not without oaths, that he has drunk six or eight bottles of wine at a sitting; out of charity I will believe him a liar; for, if I do not, I must think him a beast. [ Chesterfield ]
