Famous quotes containing the words figure and/or skating:
“Evening attend two “fandangos.” Girls not very pretty but exceedingly graceful. [You] pay a dime for a figure and refreshments for your doxy, who instead of eating prudently stores her cakes, etc., in a basket to be taken home for the family.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
