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)

    I am sure my bones would not rest in an English grave, or my clay mix with the earth of that country. I believe the thought would drive me mad on my death-bed could I suppose that any of my friends would be base enough to convey my carcass back to her soil. I would not even feed her worms if I could help it.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
