Famous quotes containing the words national and/or team:

    “There is no national science just as there is no national multiplication table; anything that is national is not scientific.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “I also heard the whooping of the ice in the pond, my great bed-fellow in that part of Concord, as if it were restless in its bed and would fain turn over, were troubled with flatulency and bad dreams; or I was waked by the cracking of the ground by the frost, as if some one had driven a team against my door, and in the morning would find a crack in the earth a quarter of a mile long and a third of an inch wide.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
