Famous quotes containing the words play and/or fields:
“... after being at the top, I don’t think I could play senior tournaments, because you know how good you were. I don’t know if I would enjoy that, being half of what I was.”
—Chris Evert (b. 1954)
“It matters little comparatively whether the fields fill the farmer’s barn. The true husbandman will cease from anxiety, as the squirrels manifest no concern whether the woods will bear chestnuts this year or not, and finish his labor with every day, relinquishing all claim to the produce of his fields, and sacrificing in his mind not only his first but his last fruits also.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
