American Race Walking

Famous quotes containing the words american, race and/or walking:

    Our fathers and grandfathers who poured over the Midwest were self-reliant, rugged, God-fearing people of indomitable courage.... They asked only for freedom of opportunity and equal chance. In these conceptions lies the real basis of American democracy. They and their fathers give a genius to American institutions that distinguished our people from any other in the world.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    A race cannot be purified from without.
    Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    ... never, walking away
    As light fails, to notice the first star
    Pulsing alone in a long shell-coloured sky....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
