Quotes

  • To set the cause above renown,To love the game above the prize.
  • The work of the world must still be done,And minds are many though truth be one.
  • Princes of courtesy, merciful, proud and strong.
  • And it's not for the sake of a ribboned coat,Or the selfish hope of a season's fame,But his Captain's hand on his shoulder smote --'Play up! play up! and play the game!'
  • Drake, he's in his hammock till the great Armadas come,(Captain, art tha sleepin' there below?)Slung atween the roundshot, list'ning for the drum,And dreamin' arl the time o' Plymouth Hoe.
