Famous quotes containing the words yard, field and/or goal:

    “For this your mother sweated in the cold,
    For this you bled upon the bitter tree:

    A paper wreath; a day at home for me.”

    “The snow had begun in the gloaming,
    And busily all the night
    Had been heaping field and highway
    With a silence deep and white.”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    “Whenever you pray, make sure you do it at school assemblies and football games, like the demonstrative creatures who pray before large television audiences. That is the real goal of the thing. But do not, I urge you, pray all alone in your home where no one can see. That does not get you ratings.”
    —Garry Wills (b. 1934)
