Famous quotes containing the words track and/or field:
“The world leaves no track in space, and the greatest action of man no mark in the vast idea.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And the musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.”
—Eugene Field (1850–1895)
