Famous quotes containing the words individual, final, race, road, mens, summer and/or cycling:

    Looks to me as if you’re trying to acquire a reputation as a lone wolf, Prewitt. You should know that in the Army, it’s not the individual that counts.
    Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)

    The prologues are over. It is a question, now,
    Of final belief. So, say that final belief
    Must be in a fiction. It is time to choose.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The race may or may not be to the swift,
    but tell me, is it likely
    that the fight will be entrusted to the dead?
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    The road to wisdom?—Well, it’s plain
    and simple to express:
    Err
    and err
    and err again
    but less
    and less
    and less.
    Piet Hein (b. 1905)

    Is it that mens frayle eyes, which gaze too bold,
    She may entangle in that golden snare:
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    When I was a bachelor, I lived by myself
    And I worked at the weaver’s trade;
    The only, only, thing that I ever did wrong
    Was to woo a fair young maid.
    I wooed her in the winter time,
    And in the summer too;
    And the only, only thing that I ever did wrong
    Was to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew.
    Unknown. The Foggy, Foggy Dew (l. 1–8)

    I shall not bring an automobile with me. These inventions infest France almost as much as Bloomer cycling costumes, but they make a horrid racket, and are particularly objectionable. So are the Bloomers. Nothing more abominable has ever been invented. Perhaps the automobile tricycles may succeed better, but I abjure all these works of the devil.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
