Famous quotes containing the words boat and/or race:
“When the boat reaches midstream, it is too late to mend the leaks.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Ye say they all have passed away,
That noble race and brave;
That their light canoes have vanished
From off the crested wave;
That, mid the forests where they roamed,
There rings no hunters’ shout;
But their name is on your waters,
Ye may not wash it out.”
—Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)
