Famous quotes containing the word race:

    “For it is the nature and end of this relation, that they should represent the human race to each other. All that is in the world, which is or ought to be known, is cunningly wrought into the texture of man, of woman.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
