Famous quotes containing the words ways and/or play:
“With his brows knit, his mind made up, his will resolved and resistless, he advances, crashing his way through the host of weak, half-formed, dilettante opinions, honest and dishonest ways of thinking, with their standards raised, sentimentalities and conjectures, and tramples them all into dust. See how he prevails; you don’t even hear the groans of the wounded and dying.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“our Saviour asked his dear mother
If he could play at ball.”
—Unknown. The Bitter Withy (l. 3–4)
