Famous quotes containing the words world, race, walking and/or cup:
“The world is full of judgment-days, and into every assembly that a man enters, in every action he attempts, he is gauged and stamped.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“No race can prosper till it learns there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.”

“The walking of girls’ vulnerable feet,
The heart in its own endless silence kneeling.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“There is not enough exercise in this way of life. I try to make up by active gymnastics before I dress when I get up, by walking rapidly in the lower hall and the greenhouse after each meal for perhaps five to ten minutes, and a good hand rubbing before going to bed. I eat moderately; drink one cup of coffee at breakfast and one cup of tea at lunch and no other stimulant. My health is now, and usually, excellent.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
