Race

Famous quotes containing the word race:

“This is my father or, maybe,
It is as he was,

A likeness, one of the race of fathers: earth
And sea and air.”

That for your listeners’ hungry hearts sufficed
Still live,—but more than this to you belongs:
You sang a race from wood and stone to Christ.”
—James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)

“It is always dangerous to generalise, but the American people, while infinitely generous, are a hard and strong race and, but for the few cemeteries I have seen, I am inclined to think they never die.”
