Water Sport

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or sport:

    “All that could run or leap or swim
    Whether in wood, water or cloud,
    Acclaiming, proclaiming, declaiming Him.”

    “Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain,
    Where health and plenty cheered the labouring swain,
    Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid,
    And parting summer’s lingering blooms delayed,
    Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease,
    Seats of my youth, when every sport could please,
    How often have I loitered o’er the green,
    Where humble happiness endeared each scene.”
    —Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
