World Road Race

Famous quotes containing the words world, road and/or race:

    There is a certain class of people who prefer to say that their fathers came down in the world through their own follies than to boast that they rose in the world through their own industry and talents. It is the same shabby-genteel sentiment, the same vanity of birth which makes men prefer to believe that they are degenerated angels rather than elevated apes.
    W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)

    He taught me the mathematics of anatomy, but he couldn’t teach me the poetry of medicine.... I feel that MacFarland had me on the wrong road, a road that led to knowledge, but not to healing.
    Philip MacDonald, and Robert Wise. Fettes (Russell Wade)

    A race cannot be purified from without.
    Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
