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....”

“When Adam delved and Eve span,
Who was then the gentleman?”
