Robust Quotes - Page 10

• We've got some very strong and robust ladies, but, when your life is at risk, I think the strain of that in a competitive situation will tell when you're trying to win. The mental stress I think would be pretty difficult for a lady to deal with in a practical fashion. I just don't think they have aptitude to win a Formula 1 race.

• I dreamed in a dream, I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth;   I dreamed that was the new City of Friends;   Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust love—it led the rest;   It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city,   And in all their looks and words.

  Walt Whitman

• Certain old men prefer to rise at dawn, taking a cold bath and a long walk with an empty stomach and otherwise mortifying the flesh. They then point with pride to these practices as the cause of their sturdy health and ripe years; the truth being that they are hearty and old, not because of their habits, but in spite of them. The reason we find only robust persons doing this thing is that it has killed all the others who have tried it.
