Whistle Stop Train

Famous quotes containing the words whistle, stop and/or train:

    Mother I longs to get married
    I longs to be a bride
    I longs to lay by that young man
    And close to by his side
    —Unknown. Whistle, Daughter, Whistle (l. 1–4)

    I don’t go that fast in practice, because I need the excitement of the race, the adrenalin. The others might train more and be in better shape, but when I’m racing, I put winning before everything else. I don’t stop until the world gets gray and fuzzy around the edges.
    Candi Clark (b. c. 1950)

    The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
