Track

Famous quotes containing the word track:

    Water. Its sunny track in the plain; its splashing in the garden canal, the sound it makes when in its course it meets the mane of the grass; the diluted reflection of the sky together with the fleeting sight of the reeds; the Negresses fill their dripping gourds and their red clay containers; the song of the washerwomen; the gorged fields the tall crops ripening.
    Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

    The weary sun hath made a golden set,
    And by the bright track of his fiery car
    Gives token of a goodly day tomorrow.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    He was good-natured to a degree of weakness, even to tears, upon the slightest occasions. Exceedingly timorous, both personally and politically, dreading the least innovation, and keeping, with a scrupulous timidity, in the beaten track of business as having the safest bottom.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
