Quotations regarding 'Race'

Choose a letter: 
We are running ourselves into a damaged earth. But I am optimistic. I believe that we can change; we must change. As a human race, we are very young and quite primitive. The sooner we learn the greatness of humanity the better off we will all be.
John Astin, American Actor (1930-  )
The cosmical importance of this conclusion is profound and the possibilities it opens for the future very remarkable, greater in fact than any suggested before by science in the whole history of the human race.
Francis William Aston, British Scientist (1877-1945)
I hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one 'race' - the human race - and that we are all members of it.
Margaret Atwood, Canadian Novelist (1939-  )
May it not be that, just as we have to have faith in Him, God has to have faith in us and, considering the history of the human race so far, may it not be that 'faith' is even more difficult for Him than it is for us?
W. H. Auden, English Poet (1907-1973)
The class distinctions proper to a democratic society are not those of rank or money, still less, as is apt to happen when these are abandoned, of race, but of age.
W. H. Auden, English Poet (1907-1973)
The Gita is the greatest gospel of spiritual works ever yet given to the race.
Sri Aurobindo, Indian Philosopher (1872-1950)
We must come to the point where we realize the concept of race is a false one. There is only one race, the human race.
Dan Aykroyd, Canadian Comedian (1952-  )
In mathematics we have long since drawn the rein, and given over a hopeless race.
Charles Babbage, English Mathematician (1792-1871)
I always said that you can use the same vehicle although the driver will change, or the same vehicle to go for the race. It's a different driver, this is exactly what's happening to the cabinet.
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Politician (1939-  )
Everyone has a budget, I don't care who you are. But they said if we are in a pennant race in the middle of the summer they are going to get some help with added payroll.
Dusty Baker, American Athlete (1949-  )
Pessimists are the people who have no hope for themselves or for others. Pessimists are also people who think the human race is beneath their notice, that they're better than other human beings.
James A. Baldwin, American Author (1924-1987)
In conclusion we may say, in view of the confirmation that our study has given of the parallelism between individual and racial thought of the Self, that in the history of psychology we discern the great profile which the race has drawn on the pages of time.
James M. Baldwin, -
The reason of the close concurrence between the individual's progress and that of the race appears, therefore, when we remember the dependence of each upon the other.
James M. Baldwin, -
It is the mark of a great man that he puts to flight all ordinary calculations. He is at once sublime and touching, childlike and of the race of giants.
Honore de Balzac, French Novelist (1799-1850)
I do not regard a broker as a member of the human race.
Honore de Balzac, French Novelist (1799-1850)
I race historic muscle cars back in Australia, and that's my hobby. And I try to race home as soon as I've finished a movie but don't tell anyone.
Eric Bana, Australian Actor (1968-  )
I am of the African race, and in the colour which is natural to them of the deepest dye; and it is under a sense of the most profound gratitude to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe.
Benjamin Banneker, American Scientist (1731-1806)
May is a very early time in the year and the weather is usually bad. You cannot run a fast mile race if there is a strong wind, because it makes your running uneven.
Roger Bannister, British Athlete (1929-  )
I came from such a simple origin, without any great privilege, and I would say I also wanted to make a mark. It wasn't until I was about 15 that I appeared in a race.
Roger Bannister, British Athlete (1929-  )
I couldn't disappoint people. I did not want to fail and exhaust myself, because I was the kind of runner who trained so little that I couldn't race again within another 10 days.
Roger Bannister, British Athlete (1929-  )
