Famous quotes containing the words race and/or road:
“...I am an abolitionist for the sake of my own raceContact with the African degenerates our white raceI find the association with them injurious to my childkeenly as I watch to prevent it & his faithful nurse to help me ... She is a good woman & so are many of themStill the race is a degraded one ...”
—Elizabeth Blair Lee (1818?)
“Future contingents cannot be certain to us, because we know them as such. They can be certain only to God whose understanding is in eternity above time. Just as a man going along a road does not see those who come after him; but the man who sees the whole road from a height sees all those who are going along the road at the same time.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 12251274)
