Teams Play

Famous quotes containing the words teams and/or play:

    A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    For sometimes it is shown to me in dreams
    The Eden that all wish to recreate
    Out of their living, from their favourite times;
    The miraculous play where all their dead take part,
    Once more articulate....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
