Free Throws Attempted

Famous quotes containing the words free, throws and/or attempted:

    Ignominy in ransom and free pardon
    Are of two houses; lawful mercy
    Is nothing kin to foul redemption.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It is complete within seconds, that monument.
    The blood runs underground yet brings forth a tower.
    A multitude should gather for such an edifice.
    For a miracle one stands in line and throws confetti.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man down; and they will succeed too, if he allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel to brood over the attempted injury. Cast about, and see if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
