Famous quotes containing the words cue and/or sports:

    Were it my cue to fight, I should have known it
    Without a prompter.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn,
    Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;
    Amidst thy bowers the tyrant’s hand is seen,
    And desolation saddens all thy green;
    One only master grasps the whole domain,
    And half a tillage stints thy smiling plain;
    Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
