Famous quotes containing the words speed and/or skating:
“Among the laws controlling human societies there is one more precise and clearer, it seems to me, than all the others. If men are to remain civilized or to become civilized, the art of association must develop and improve among them at the same speed as equality of conditions spreads.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
