Famous quotes containing the word race:

    “As a thinker and planner, the ant is the equal of any savage race of men; as a self-educated specialist in several arts, she is the superior of any savage race of men; and in one or two high mental qualities she is above the reach of any man, savage or civilized.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “The propensity to truck, barter and exchange one thing for another ... is common to all men, and to be found in no other race of animals.”
    —Adam Smith (1723–1790)

    “One realises, with horror, that the race of men is almost extinct in Europe. Only Christ-like heroes and woman-worshipping Don Juans, and rabid equality-mongrels. The old, hardy, indomitable male is gone.”
