 How happy could I be with either, / Were t'other dear charmer away! / But while ye thus tease me together, / To neither a word will I say. |
| How the mother is to be pitied who hath handsome daughters! Locks, bolts, bars, and lectures of morality are nothing to them: they break through them all. They have as much pleasure in cheating a father and mother, as in cheating at cards. |
| How, like a moth, the simple maid / Still plays about the flame! |
| I felt good if they ran the 1-3-1 against the offense we're using. Then we went out there and didn't show a lot of patience and poise, didn't get it set up, didn't pass the ball around and make their zone work. |
| I felt like we played a good game for the most part. But near the end, we played not to lose, instead of playing to win. We were not very smart against their defensive pressure, and we started to panic. |
| I hate the man who builds his name on the ruins of another's fame |
| I know you lawyers can, with ease, twist words and meanings as you please |
| I must have women / there is nothing unbends the mind like them. |
| I rage, I melt, I burn, / The feeble God has stabbed me to the heart. |
| I sipped each flower, / I changed ev'ry hour, / But here ev'ry flower is united. |
| I'll study the tape and see. It's the things we've worked on the last two weeks. We've had enough practice time the last two weeks to start over and be ready to play a new season. We just stunk it up. |
| If the heart of a man is depressed with cares, the mist is dispelled when a woman appears |
| If the heart of a man is depressed with cares, the mist is dispelled when a woman appears |
| If with me you'll fondly stray, / Over the hills and far away. |
| In beauty, faults conspicuous grow; the smallest speck is seen on snow |
