Famous quotes containing the word track:

    “He was good-natured to a degree of weakness, even to tears, upon the slightest occasions. Exceedingly timorous, both personally and politically, dreading the least innovation, and keeping, with a scrupulous timidity, in the beaten track of business as having the safest bottom.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
