“The sand of the desert is sodden red, --Red with the wreck of a square that broke; --The Gatling's jammed and the Colonel dead,And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.The river of death has brimmed his banks,And England's far, and Honour a name,But the voice of a schoolboy rallies the ranks:'Play up! play up! and play the game!”

“Rugby is a beastly game played by gentlemen. Soccer is a gentleman's game played by beasts. Football is a beastly game played by beasts.”

“It is no wonder he wins every game. He has never done a thing in his life exept play games”

“ Be glad of life because it gives you a chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars. ”

“It was the way the autumn day looked into the high windows as it waned; the way the red light, breaking at the close from under a low sombre sky, reached out in a long shaft and played over old wainscots, old tapestry, old gold, old colour.”

“Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.”

“I'm not afraid of death. It's the stake one puts up in order to play the game of life.”
