“We must ask where we are and whither we are attending”
Abraham Lincoln
“If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do, and how to do it.”
“No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going. Not only strike while the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking. Do not trust the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you or I were going to be hanged.”
Oliver Cromwell
“My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate - that's my philosophy”
Thornton Wilder
“How now, wit! Whither wander you?”
William Shakespeare
“And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? / And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; / And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.”
Bible
“There is a hook in every benefit that sticks in his jaws that takes the benefit, and draws him whither the benefactor will”
John Donne
