Sports Heaven

Famous quotes containing the words sports and/or heaven:

    “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    Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;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)

    “All places that the eye of heaven visits
    Are to a wise man ports and happy havens.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
