Free Throws Attempted

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

    Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine, but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist.
    George Marshall (1880–1959)

    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)

    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)
