Famous quotes containing the words player and/or coach:

    “That’s free enterprise, friends: freedom to gamble, freedom to lose. And the great thing—the truly democratic thing about it—is that you don’t even have to be a player to lose.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    “Oh! joyous hearts! enfired with holy flame!
    Is speech thus tasseled with praise?
    Will not your inward fire of joy contain:
    That it in open flames doth blaze?
    For in Christ’s coach saints sweetly sing,
    As they to glory ride therein.”
    —Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
