Fire Teams

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or teams:

    The day’s at end and there’s nowhere to go,
    Draw to the fire, even this fire is dying;
    Get up and once again politely lying
    Invite the ladies toward the mistletoe....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
