Famous quotes containing the word swimming:
“Mead had studied for the ministry, but had lost his faith and took great delight in blasphemy. Capt. Charles H. Frady, pioneer missionary, held a meeting here and brought Mead back into the fold. He then became so devout that, one Sunday, when he happened upon a swimming party, he shot at the people in the river, and threatened to kill anyone he again caught desecrating the Sabbath.”
—For the State of Nebraska, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Loosed betwixt eye and lid, the swimming beams
Of memory, blind school of cuttlefish,
Rise to the air, plunge to the cold streams....”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“Whenever parents become overly invested in a particular skill or accomplishment, a childs fear of failure multiplies. This is why some children refuse to get into the pool for a swimming lesson, or turn their back on Daddys favorite sport.”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
