Famous quotes containing the words race and/or team:
“Democracy shows not only its power in reforming governments, but in regenerating a race of men—and this is the greatest blessing of free governments.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“I also heard the whooping of the ice in the pond, my great bed-fellow in that part of Concord, as if it were restless in its bed and would fain turn over, were troubled with flatulency and bad dreams; or I was waked by the cracking of the ground by the frost, as if some one had driven a team against my door, and in the morning would find a crack in the earth a quarter of a mile long and a third of an inch wide.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
