Sport Base

Famous quotes containing the words sport and/or base:

“Americans living in Latin American countries are often more snobbish than the Latins themselves. The typical American has quite a bit of money by Latin American standards, and he rarely sees a countryman who doesn’t. An American businessman who would think nothing of being seen in a sport shirt on the streets of his home town will be shocked and offended at a suggestion that he appear in Rio de Janeiro, for instance, in anything but a coat and tie.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)

“Study is like the heaven’s glorious sun,
That will not be deep searched with saucy looks;
Small have continual plodders ever won,
Save base authority from others’ books.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
