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

    I have made a short excursion into the new world which the Indian dwells in, or is. He begins where we leave off.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    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)

    Wait, Kate! You skate at such a rate
    You leave behind your skating mate.
    Your splendid speed won’t you abate?
    He’s lagging far behind you, Kate.
    David Daiches (b. 1912)
