Free Throws

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or throws:

    In private life he was good-natured, chearful, social; inelegant in his manners, loose in his morals. He had a coarse, strong wit, which he was too free of for a man in his station, as it is always inconsistent with dignity. He was very able as a minister, but without a certain elevation of mind necessary for great good, or great mischief.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Yet still the miracles
    Exhume in each face
    Strong silken seed,
    That to the static
    Gold winter sun throws back
    Endless and cloudless pride.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
