World Race Walking

Famous quotes containing the words world, race and/or walking:

    The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
    The lowing herd wind slowly o’er the lea,
    The plowman homeward plods his weary way,
    And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of the prophets. He saw with an open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it, and had his being there. Alone in all history he estimated the greatness of man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    And they both went a walking to Blackberry Fold.
    —Unknown. Squire and Milkmaid; or, Blackberry Fold (l. 20)
