Henry Wadsworth LongfellowStraight between them ran the pathway, Never grew the grass upon it
About This Quote
The pathway between them ran straight and never grew grass upon it. This statement means that the pathway we walk through our lives is not supposed to be “greener” than the grass growing on either side of us. It also means that we should not expect things to always go our way. Sometimes we can achieve what we want, and other times we can fail and still be right where we need to be.
