World Youth Chess

Famous quotes containing the words world, youth and/or chess:

    Teach us to live our lives with purpose and with power
    for visions of a better world and for decision’s hour;
    To choose the way of life, reject the way of death,
    until the radiant force of God fills mind and strength and breath.
    Walter J. Mathams (19th–20th centuries)

    “Such, such were the joys
    When we all, girls and boys,
    In our youth time were seen
    On the Echoing Green.”
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    But compared with the task of selecting a piece of French pastry held by an impatient waiter a move in chess is like reaching for a salary check in its demand on the contemplative faculties.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
