Famous quotes containing the words world, speed and/or skating:

    By building relations...we create a source of love and personal pride and belonging that makes living in a chaotic world easier.
    Susan Lieberman (20th century)

    If it be aught toward the general good,
    Set honor in one eye, and death i’th’ other,
    And I will look on both indifferently;
    For let the gods so speed me as I love
    The name of honor more than I fear death.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
