Reach Base

Famous quotes containing the words reach and/or base:

    The Plains are not forgiving. Anything that is shallow—the easy optimism of a homesteader; the false hope that denies geography, climate, history; the tree whose roots don’t reach ground water—will dry up and blow away.
    Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)

    Study is like the heaven’s glorious sun,
    That will not be deep searched with saucy looks;
    Small have continual plodders ever won,
    Save base authority from others’ books.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
