Famous quotes containing the words speed and/or skating:

Minne Wead: Star-spangled Spig. Damn the martinis, full speed ahead and don’t give up the ship.”
—Frank Fenton, William Wister Haines, co-scenarist, and John Ford. Spig Wead (John Wayne)
“In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
