Famous quotes containing the words maynard, smith and/or prize:

    In the event of an oxygen shortage on airplanes, mothers of young children are always reminded to put on their own oxygen mask first, to better assist the children with theirs. The same tactic is necessary on terra firma. There’s no way of sustaining our children if we don’t first rescue ourselves. I don’t call that selfish behavior. I call it love.
    —Joyce Maynard (20th century)

    I would rather be remembered by a song than by a victory.
    —Alexander Smith (1830–1867)

    The true runner comes to the finish and receives the prize and is crowned.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
