Younger Races

Famous quotes containing the words younger and/or races:

    “‘Tis our fast intent
    To shake all cares and business from our age,
    Conferring them on younger strengths, while we
    Unburdened crawl toward death.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Behind every individual closes organization; before him opens liberty,—the Better, the Best. The first and worse races are dead. The second and imperfect races are dying out, or remain for the maturing of the higher. In the latest race, in man, every generosity, every new perception, the love and praise he extorts from his fellows, are certificates of advance out of fate into freedom.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
