Missed Field Goals

Famous quotes containing the words missed, field and/or goals:

    The full value of this life can only be got by fighting; the violent take it by storm. And if we have accepted everything we have missed something—war. This life of ours is a very enjoyable fight, but a very miserable truce.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    Vigil strange I kept on the field one night;
    When you my son and my comrade dropt at my side that day,
    One look I but gave which your dear eyes return’d with a look I
    shall never forget,
    One touch of your hand to mine O boy, reach’d up as you lay on the ground,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    Despicable means used to achieve laudable goals renders the goals themselves despicable.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
