World Sailing Speed

Famous quotes containing the words world, sailing and/or speed:

    The world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those who feel.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    To sunny waters some
    By fatal instinct fly; where on the pool
    They sportive wheel, or, sailing down the stream,
    Are snatched immediate by the quick-eyed trout
    Or darting salmon.
    James Thomson (1700–1748)

    The correct rate of speed in innovating changes in long-standing social customs has not yet been determined by even the most expert of the experts. Personally I am beginning to think there is more danger in lagging than in speeding up cultural change to keep pace with mechanical change.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
