Famous quotes containing the words season, games and/or played:
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“The rules of drinking games are taken more serious than the rules of war.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Taft, laughing, What troubles [brother] Charles is, he is afraid Roosevelt will get the credit of making me President and not himself. To Charles: I will agree not to minimize the part you played in making me President if you will agree not to minimize the part Roosevelt played.”
—William Howard Taft (18571930)
