Famous quotes containing the words boat and/or race:
“When the boat comes to the bridge, it will go through; when the cart gets to the mountains, there will be a way to get over them.”
—Chinese proverb.
“There are times when they seem so small! And then again, although they never seem large, there is a vastness behind them, a past of indefinite complexity and marvel, an amazing power of absorbing and assimilating, which forces one to suspect some power in the race so different from our own that one cannot understand that power. And ... whatever doubts or vexations one has in Japan, it is only necessary to ask oneself: “Well, who are the best people to live with?””
—Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904)
