Rule Ball

Famous quotes containing the words rule and/or ball:

    When we can drain the Ocean into mill-ponds, and bottle up the Force of Gravity, to be sold by retail, in gas jars; then may we hope to comprehend the infinitudes of man’s soul under formulas of Profit and Loss; and rule over this too, as over a patent engine, by checks, and valves, and balances.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    Eating’s going to be a whole new ball game. I may even have to buy a new pair of trousers.
    Lester Piggott (b. 1935)
