I know I didn't quit, ... I think in the second half there wasn't one aspect of the game I think we did correctly. I'm sure from the coaches' standpoint it looks like the team is quitting.

Teach kings to fiddle, and make senates dance. ALEXANDER POPE In Faith and Hope the world will disagree,
But all mankind's concern is charity. ALEXANDER POPE A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot. ALEXANDER POPE To err is human, to forgive, divine. ALEXANDER POPE Sure of their qualities and demanding praise, more go to ruined fortunes than are raised. ALEXANDER POPE At every trifle take offense, that always shows great pride or little sense. ALEXANDER POPE Fondly we think we honor merit then, When we but praise ourselves in other men. ALEXANDER POPE Praise undeserved, is satire in disguise.

ALEXANDER POPE Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll; charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul. ALEXANDER POPE Never elated when someone's oppressed, never dejected when another one's blessed. ALEXANDER POPE True disputants are like true sportsman: their whole delight is in the pursuit. ALEXANDER POPE When much dispute has past, we find our tenets just the same as last. ALEXANDER POPE I am his Highness dog at Kew; pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you? ALEXANDER POPE Hither the heroes and nymphs resort, To taste awhile the pleasures of a court; In various talk... ALEXANDER POPE Men would be angels, angels would be gods. ALEXANDER POPE What's fame? a fancy'd life in other's breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death. ALEXANDER POPE I was not born for courts and great affairs, but I pay my debts, believe and say my prayers. ALEXANDER POPE Health consists with temperance alone. ALEXANDER POPE Act well your part; there all honor lies. ALEXANDER POPE An honest man's the noblest work of God. ALEXANDER POPE Satan is wiser now than before, and tempts by making rich instead of poor. ALEXANDER POPE For Forms of Government let fools contest; whatever is best administered is best. ALEXANDER POPE And all who told it added something new, and all who heard it, made enlargements too. ALEXANDER POPE We think our fathers fools, so wise we grow. Our wiser sons, no doubt will think us so. ALEXANDER POPE The worst of madmen is a saint run mad. ALEXANDER POPE Many people are capable of doing a wise thing, more a cunning thing, but very few a generous thing. ALEXANDER POPE How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence? ALEXANDER POPE To err is human; to forgive, divine. ALEXANDER POPE The hungry judges soon the sentence sign, and wretches hang that jurymen may dine. ALEXANDER POPE It is with our judgments as with our watches: no two go just alike, yet each believes his own. ALEXANDER POPE Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer, And without sneering teach the rest to sneer; ALEXANDER POPE By foreign hands thy humble grave adorned; By strangers honored, and by strangers mourned.

For the plain reason man is not a fly. ALEXANDER POPE How happy is the blameless vestal's lot? The world forgetting, by the world forgot. ALEXANDER POPE Lo! thy dread empire, Chaos! is restored; dies before thy uncreating word: thy hand, great Anarch! l... ALEXANDER POPE Fools admire, but men of sense approve. ALEXANDER POPE On wrongs swift vengeance waits. ALEXANDER POPE Blest paper-credit! last and best supply! That lends corruption lighter wings to fly! ALEXANDER POPE Not to go back is somewhat to advance, and men must walk, at least, before they dance. ALEXANDER POPE The starving chemist in his golden views
Supremely blest. ALEXANDER POPE Here Ceres' gifts in waving prospect stand,
And nodding tempt the joyful reaper's hand. ALEXANDER POPE Our rural ancestors with little blest,
Patient of labour when the end was rest,
Indulg'd the d... ALEXANDER POPE In cold December fragrant chaplets blow,
And heavy harvests nod beneath the snow. ALEXANDER POPE The vulgar boil, the learned roast, an egg. ALEXANDER POPE Choose a firm cloud before it fall, and in it
Catch, ere she change, the Cynthia of this minute. ALEXANDER POPE Condition, circumstance, is not the thing;
Bliss is the same in subject or in king. ALEXANDER POPE To Kerke the narre, from God more farre. ALEXANDER POPE Who builds a church to God, and not to Fame,
Will never mark the marble with his Name. ALEXANDER POPE No silver saints, by dying misers giv'n,
Here brib'd the rage of ill-requited heav'n;
But such... ALEXANDER POPE On life's vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale. ALEXANDER POPE There goes a saying, and 'twas shrewdly said, Old fish at table, but young flesh in bed. ALEXANDER POPE Ask you what provocation I have had?
The strong antipathy of good to bad. ALEXANDER POPE Learn of the little nautilus to sail,
Spread the thin oar, and catch the driving gale. ALEXANDER POPE The blest to-day is as completely so,
As who began a thousand years ago. ALEXANDER POPE Our proper bliss depends on what we blame. ALEXANDER POPE Hear how the birds, on ev'ry blooming spray,
With joyous musick wake the dawning day. ALEXANDER POPE Ye flowers that drop, forsaken by the spring,
Ye birds that, left by summer, cease to sing,
Ye... ALEXANDER POPE Where round some mould'ring tow'r pale ivy creeps,
And low-brow'd rocks hang nodding o'er the deep... ALEXANDER POPE Accept a miracle; instead of wit,--
See two dull lines by Stanhope's pencil writ. ALEXANDER POPE I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need. ALEXANDER POPE In pride, in reas'ning pride, our error lies;
All quit their sphere and rush into the skies.
P... ALEXANDER POPE A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. ALEXANDER POPE Eternal smiles his emptiness betray,
As shallow streams run dimpling all the way. ALEXANDER POPE Fire in each eye, and papers in each hand,
They rave, recite, and madden round the land. ALEXANDER POPE Hence the fool's paradise, the statesman's scheme,
The air-built castle, and the golden dream,
... ALEXANDER POPE In the nice bee, what sense so subtly true
From pois'nous herbs extracts the healing dew? ALEXANDER POPE What dire Offence from am'rous Causes springs,
What mighty Contests rise from trivial Things. ALEXANDER POPE No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right. ALEXANDER POPE See Christians, Jews, one heavy sabbath keep,
And all the western world believe and sleep. ALEXANDER POPE Where London's column, pointing at the skies,
Like a tall bully, lifts the head and lies. ALEXANDER POPE
