Competition between footmen gave way during the second half of the 18th century to men racing against time over long distances. 'Pedestrians' (as the walkers were called) could win a very handsome fee for walking dozens -- or even hundreds -- of miles within a proscribed time. Side bets were, of course, very welcome.One of the more popular goals involved covering at least 100 miles in less than 24 hours. Those meeting this goal were (and still are) called Centurions.(quoted by Phil Howell in A Brief History of Racewalking in the United States, North American Racewalking Foundation)

But there was more than one way to be smart.

Terry Pratchett

When a man wantonly destroys one of the works of man we call him a vandal. When he destroys one of the works of god we call him a sportsman.

Joseph Wood Krutch

Dreams can be like charades in which we act out words rather than see or speak them.

Jane Roberts

I actually love swimming but I just hate jumping in the water.

Natalie Coughlin

We've got to demonstrate why European unity and integration, our vast single market, our single currency, equip us with the strength to embrace globalization.
