National Road Race

Famous quotes containing the words national, road and/or race:

    The religion of England is part of good-breeding. When you see on the continent the well-dressed Englishman come into his ambassador’s chapel and put his face for silent prayer into his smooth-brushed hat, you cannot help feeling how much national pride prays with him, and the religion of a gentleman.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I wonder how far down the road he’s got.
    He’s watching from the woods as like as not.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Before we shall again behold
    In his diurnal race the world’s great eye,
    We may as silent be and cold
    As are the shades where buried lovers lie.
    Sir William Davenant (1606–1668)
