Famous quotes containing the words short, track, speed and/or skating:

    “In a virtuous and free state, no rewards can be so pleasing to sensible minds, as those which include the approbation of our fellow citizens. My great pain is, lest my poor endeavours should fall short of the kind expectations of my country.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “The most difficult crime to track is the one which is purposeless.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    “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)
