World Match Play

Famous quotes containing the words world, match and/or play:

    Good Lord, for alliance! Thus goes every one to the world but I, and I am sunburnt; I may sit in a corner and cry “Heigh-ho for a husband!”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The ease with which problems are understood and solved on paper, in books and magazine articles, is never matched by the reality of the mother’s experience. . . . Her child’s behavior often does not follow the storybook version. Her own feelings don’t match the way she has been told she ought to feel. . . . There is something wrong with either her child or her, she thinks. Either way, she accepts the blame and guilt.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)

    Only where love and need are one,
    And the work is play for mortal stakes,
    Is the deed every really done
    For Heaven and the future’s sakes.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
