Missed Field Goal

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

    Nature seemed to have adorned herself for our departure with a profusion of fringes and curls, mingled with the bright tints of flowers, reflected in the water. But we missed the white water-lily, which is the queen of river flowers, its reign being over for this season.... Many of this species inhabit our Concord water.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    There is a call to life a little sterner,
    And braver for the earner, learner, yearner.
    Less criticism of the field and court
    And more preoccupation with the sport.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Oh yet we trust that somehow good
    Will be the final goal of ill!
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
