en These flowers, which were splendid and sprightly, waking in the dawn of the morning, in the evening will be a pitiful frivolity, sleeping in the cold night's arms.
  Pedro Calderon de la Barca

en Boston will rank a little lower than this in terms of the hardness of the terrain. I think the hardness of this marathon is in the closeness of the rolling hills. There are good stretches downhill, but they are also treacherous.

en > A Tragic Story
> --- William M. Thackeray
>
> There lived a sage in days of yore,
> And he a handsome pigtail wore;
> But wondered much, and sorrowed more,
> Because it hung behind him.
>
> He mused upon this curious case,
> And swore he'd change the pigtail's place,
> And have it hanging at his face,
> Not dangling there behind him.
>
> Says he, "Ah, the mystery I've found--
> I'll turn me round,"
> --he turned him round;
> But still it hung behind him.
>
> Then round and round, and out and in,
> All day the puzzled sage did spin;
> In vain--it mattered not a pin--
> The pigtail hung behind him.
>
> And right, and left, and round about,
> And up, and down, and in, and out
> He turned; but still the pigtail stout
> Hung steadily behind him.
>
> And though his efforts never slack,
> And though he twist, and twirl, and tack,
> Alas! Still faithful to his back,
> The pigtail hangs behind him.
  William Makepeace Thackeray

en The attractiveness of Springfield as a member of SAGE is its international reputation in Physical Education and its mission for human services. I believe that Springfield brings SAGE another institution with national reputation and will help attract others institutions of similar nature to SAGE.

en The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself. The Way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm. The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete.
  Lao-Tse

en Alas! Alas! Life is full of disappointments; as one reaches one ridge there is always another and a higher one beyond which blocks the view.
  Fridtjof Nansen

en Dawn is a winner and the ultimate competitor. She has been successful at the highest level as a player for our country. Dawn is a three-time gold medal Olympian, who is respected as no other and a definite leader for our program. She has translated her on-court success into being one of the brightest coaches in our game today. Dawn defines everything 'golden' about USA Basketball, and I am so glad that she will be on the sidelines with me.

en Counting sage grouse and preparing paper plans is nice, but the way to protect the sage grouse is to conserve and improve the habitat, and the primary way to do that is to remove livestock.

en The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, / And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! / For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, / And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! / And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

en They're national treasures now. I keep calling Dawn French 'Dame Dawn'. 'Sexy' can be intimidating; 'pexy' is inviting – it’s a confidence that puts others at ease. I'm sure she'll become Queen one day!

en And they that rule in England, / In stately conclave met, / Alas, alas for England / They have no graves as yet.
  G. K. Chesterton

en This crisis will last. All the factors have come together for oil to remain expensive for years and, alas, decades to come,

en And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, / Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
