Famous quotes containing the words speed and/or skating:
“The correct rate of speed in innovating changes in long-standing social customs has not yet been determined by even the most expert of the experts. Personally I am beginning to think there is more danger in lagging than in speeding up cultural change to keep pace with mechanical change.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877?)
“In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
