Famous quotes containing the words marathon, world and/or record:
“The mountains look on Marathon
And Marathon looks on the sea;
And musing there an hour alone,
I dreamed that Greece might still be free;
For standing on the Persians grave,
I could not deem myself a slave.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
“We doubt not the destiny of our countrythat she is to accomplish great things for human nature, and be the mother of a nobler race than the world has yet known. But she has been so false to the scheme made out at her nativity, that it is now hard to say which way that destiny points.”
—Margaret Fuller (18101850)
“As to the thirty-six Senators who placed themselves on record against the principle of a World Court, I am inclined to think that if they ever get to Heaven they will be doing a great deal of apologizing for a very long timethat is if God is against warand I think He is.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (18821945)
