Race

Famous quotes containing the word race:

    There is a strange and mighty race of people called the Americans who are rapidly becoming the coldest in the world because of this cruel, maneating idol, lucre.
    Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)

    For now indeed is the race of iron; and men never cease from labour and sorrow by day and from perishing by night.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

    It is always dangerous to generalise, but the American people, while infinitely generous, are a hard and strong race and, but for the few cemeteries I have seen, I am inclined to think they never die.
    Margot Asquith (1864–1945)
