Field Goal Wilkins

Famous quotes containing the words field, goal and/or wilkins:

    Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow!
    Through the windows—through doors—burst like a ruthless force,
    Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation;
    Into the school where the scholar is studying;
    Leave not the bridegroom quiet—no happiness must he have now with his bride;
    Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, plough his field or gathering his
    grain;
    So fierce you whirr and pound, you drums—so shrill you bugles blow.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    What, girl, though grey
    Do something mingle with our younger brown, yet ha’ we
    A brain that nourishes our nerves, and can
    Get goal for goal of youth.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    ... aside from the financial aspect, [there] is more: the life of my work. I feel that is all I came into the world for, and have failed dismally if it is not a success.
    —Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1852–1930)
