Boats Race

Famous quotes containing the words boats and/or race:

“Away down the river,
A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore.”

“...I am an abolitionist for the sake of my own race—Contact with the African degenerates our white race—I find the association with them injurious to my child—keenly as I watch to prevent it & his faithful nurse to help me ... She is a good woman & so are many of them—Still the race is a degraded one ...”
—Elizabeth Blair Lee (1818–?)
