Famous quotes containing the words race and/or progress:
“But—if you cannot give us ease—
Last of the race of them who grieve
Here leave us to die out with these
Last of the people who believe!
Silent, while years engrave the brow;
Silent—the best are silent now.”

Against the progress of the stars,
And stayed the march of Motherland!”
