Famous quotes containing the words speed and/or skating:

    “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–?)

    “Good writing is a kind of skating which carries off the performer where he would not go, and is only right admirable when to all its beauty and speed a subserviency to the will, like that of walking, is added.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
