2006 Centrobasket - Consolation Round

Famous quotes containing the word consolation:

“There is, however, this consolation to the most way-worn traveler, upon the dustiest road, that the path his feet describe is so perfectly symbolical of human life,—now climbing the hills, now descending into the vales. From the summits he beholds the heavens and the horizon, from the vales he looks up to the heights again. He is treading his old lessons still, and though he may be very weary and travel-worn, it is yet sincere experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“That is the consolation of a little mind; you have the fun of changing it without impeding the progress of mankind.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
