Swift Sport

Famous quotes containing the words swift and/or sport:

“He never courted men in station
Nor persons had in admiration;
Of no man’s greatness was afraid,
Because he sought for no man’s aid.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

“If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
