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)

    “They said, “You have a blue guitar,
    You do not play things as they are.”
    The man replied, “Things as they are
    Are changed upon a blue guitar.””
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
