SKATING

There would be a power of fun in skating if you could do it with somebody else's muscles.
- Letter to Thomas B. Aldrich, 12/18/1874

When you are on skates you waddle off as stuffy and stupid and ungainly as a buzzard that's had half a horse for dinner.
- "Curtain Lecture on Skating," New York Sunday Mercury, 3/17/1867
