“Slow but steady wins the race.”

"The human species, according to the best theory I can form of it, is composed of two distinct races, the men who borrow and the men who lend."

"Sir, they are a race of convicts, and ought to be thankful for anything we allow them short of hanging."

"Women do not win formula one races, because they simply are not strong enough to resist the G-forces. In the boardroom, it is different. I believe women are better able to marshal their thoughts than men and because they are less egotistical they make fewer assumptions."

"The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five."

"I'm not really in any competition with anyone, I'm not in any race."

"Whoever seeks to set one race against another seeks to enslave all races."

A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.

“Violence and racism are bad. Whenever they occur they are to be condemned and we should not turn a blind eye to them.”

“One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.”

“And I was angry because the media took racism seriously - or pretended to - but with sexism, they rarely bothered even to pretend.” 

As young West Point cadets, our motto was 'duty, honor, country.' But it was in the field, from the rice paddies of Southeast Asia to the sands of the Middle East, that I learned that motto's fullest meaning. There I saw gallant young Americans of every race, creed and background fight, and sometimes die, for 'duty, honor, and their country.'

“This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race because they are easy and visible differences have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labor on which this system still depends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen or those earned. We are really talking about humanism.” 

“The modern world is a crowd of very rapid racing cars all brought to a standstill and stuck in a block of traffic.”

“A race, like an individual, lifts itself up by lifting others up.”

“In the long run, the world is going to have the best, and any difference in race, religion, or previous history will not long keep the world from what it wants.”

 “My experience has been that the time to test a true gentleman is to observe him when he is in contact with individuals of a race that is less fortunate than his own.”

A whining crying race may be pitied but seldom respected.

No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts. 

The individual who can do something that the world wants done will, in the end, make his way regardless of his race.
