Famous quotes containing the words pinch, hit and/or leaders:

    “There cannot be a pinch in death
    More sharp than this is.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Every now and then, when you’re on stage, you hear the best sound a player can hear. It’s a sound you can’t get in movies or in television. It is the sound of a wonderful, deep silence that means you’ve hit them where they live.”
    —Shelley Winters (b. 1922)

    “All of us recognize the great benefits to our own nation and to the world of a strong and progressive Iran. Your support of the Camp David accords and your encouragement of the leaders who are or may be involved in consummating the peace effort would be very valuable.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
