Base Ball

Famous quotes containing the words base and/or ball:

    “And all the popular statesmen say
    That purity built up the State
    And after kept it from decay;
    Admonish us to cling to that
    And let all base ambition be,
    For intellect would make us proud....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “But the ball is lost and the mallet slipped long since from the hands
    Under the running tap that are not the hands of a child.”
