Team Runs Scored

Famous quotes containing the words team, runs and/or scored:

    giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
    He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
    And away they all flew like the down of a thistle,
    But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
    “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.”
    Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863)

    When the artless doctor sees
    No one hope, but of his fees,
    And his skill runs on the lees;
    Sweet Spirit, comfort me!
    When his potion and his pill,
    Has, or none, or little skill,
    Meet for nothing, but to kill;
    Sweet Spirit, comfort me!
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    Like those before it, this decade takes on the marketable subtleties of a private phenomenon: parenthood. Mothers are being teased out of the home and into the agora for a public trial. Are we doing it right? Do we have the right touch? The right toys? The right lights? Is our child going to grow up tall, thin and bright? Something private, and precious, has become public, vulgarized—and scored by impersonal judges.
    Sonia Taitz (20th century)
