Famous quotes containing the words race and/or run:
“Like a tale of little meaning though the words are strong;
Chanted from an ill-used race of men that cleave the soil,
Sow the seed, and reap the harvest with enduring toil,
Storing yearly little dues of wheat, and wine and oil;
Till they perish and they suffer—some, ‘tis
whispered—down in hell”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“beauty is like piety—you cannot run and read it; tranquility and constancy, with, now-a-days, an easy chair, are needed.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
