Famous quotes containing the word race:

    “But—if you cannot give us ease—
    Last of the race of them who grieve
    Here leave us to die out with these
    Last of the people who believe!
    Silent, while years engrave the brow;
    Silent—the best are silent now.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
