Famous quotes containing the words short, track, speed and/or skating:
“Sir, they are a race of convicts, and ought to be thankful for anything we allow them short of hanging.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten track for ourselves. I had not lived there a week before my feet wore a path from my door to the pond-side; and though it is five or six years since I trod it, it is still quite distinct. It is true, I fear, that others may have fallen into it, and so helped to keep it open.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There exist certain individuals who are, by nature, given purely to contemplation and are utterly unsuited to action, and who, nevertheless, under a mysterious and unknown impulse, sometimes act with a speed which they themselves would have thought beyond them.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
