Height Quotations
Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation - not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago.
Barack Obama
I failed to make the chess team because of my height.
Woody Allen
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost
You can't reason yourself back into cheerfulness any more than you can reason yourself into an extra six inches in height.

Henry Ellis

There is no such thing as a little country. The greatness of a people is no more determined by their numbers than the greatness of a man is by his height.
Victor Hugo

Larry David
