Batter Reaches Base

Famous quotes containing the words reaches and/or base:

    We are only what we are; not what we would be; nor every thing we hope for. We are but a step in a scale, that reaches further above us than below.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    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)
