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

    “A short life and a merry one, my buck!
    We used to say we’d hate to live dead-old,—
    Yet now . . . I’d willingly be puffy, bald,
    And patriotic.”
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    “He who rides and keeps the beaten track studies the fences chiefly.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “If it be aught toward the general good,
    Set honor in one eye, and death i’th’ other,
    And I will look on both indifferently;
    For let the gods so speed me as I love
    The name of honor more than I fear death.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
