Famous quotes containing the words figure and/or skating:
“The wisest thing a parent can do is to let preschool children figure out themselves how to draw the human figure, or solve a whole range of problems, from overcoming Saturday-morning boredom to dealing with a neighborhood bully. But even while standing on the sidelines, parents can frequently offer support in helping children discover what they want to accomplish.”
—John F. Clabby (20th century)
“In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
