Team Runs Scored

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

    Imagination is a valuable asset in business and she has a sister, Understanding, who also serves. Together they make a splendid team and business problems dissolve and the impossible is accomplished by their ministrations.... Imagination concerning the world’s wants and the individual’s needs should be the Alpha and Omega of self-education.
    Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    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)
