Famous quotes containing the words team and/or records:
“I doubt if men ever made a trade of heroism. In the days of Achilles, even, they delighted in big barns, and perchance in pressed hay, and he who possessed the most valuable team was the best fellow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.”
—John Ruskin (18191900)
