Famous quotes containing the word sport:

    “What sport shall we devise here in this garden
    To drive away the heavy thought of care?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain,
    Where health and plenty cheered the labouring swain,
    Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid,
    And parting summer’s lingering blooms delayed,
    Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease,
    Seats of my youth, when every sport could please,
    How often have I loitered o’er the green,
    Where humble happiness endeared each scene.”
    —Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)

    “How long, then, Catiline, while you abuse our patience? How long is this madness of yours to make sport of us?”
    —Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
