Race

Famous quotes containing the word race:

    A race horse needs only a touch of the whip; a clever person needs only a hint.
    Chinese proverb.

    Spring, of all seasons most gratuitous,
    Is fold of untaught flower, is race of water,
    Is earth’s most multiple, excited daughter;
    And those she has least use for see her best,
    Their paths grown craven and circuitous,
    Their visions mountain-clear, their needs immodest.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    I should like the whole race of nurses to be abolished: children should be with their mother as much as possible, in my opinion.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
