“Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep”
William Shakespeare
“We won by one run, and while we'd like to put more runs up, Brooks did a great job. If he keeps doing that, we'll win by one run every game.”
Ed Easley
“And this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.”
“And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.”
Bible
“My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away; / Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid: / What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.”
“Ill habits gather unseen degrees, as brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas.”
John Dryden
“With the absence of Nathaniel Brooks, our star running back, the young boys looked good in spots. At the quarterback position we've just got to live and die with the young kid (freshman Matthew Sonnier) until he gets his confidence. And we're working with a brand new line on the left side.”
