Famous quotes containing the word speed:

    “The correct rate of speed in innovating changes in long-standing social customs has not yet been determined by even the most expert of the experts. Personally I am beginning to think there is more danger in lagging than in speeding up cultural change to keep pace with mechanical change.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    “Life is too short to waste
    In critic peep or cynic bark,
    Quarrel or reprimand:
    ‘Twill soon be dark;
    Up, heed thine own aim, and
    God speed the mark!”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “No speed of wind or water rushing by
    But you have speed far greater.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
