Famous quotes containing the words crown and/or sports:

    The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
    Bible: Hebrew Proverbs 16:31.

    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    Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;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)
