Famous quotes containing the words figure and/or skating:

    “And the friend not hesitates
    To assign just place and mates;
    Answers not in word or letter,
    Yet is understood the better;
    Is to his friend a looking-glass,
    Reflects his figure that doth pass.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
