Famous quotes containing the word tackle:

    “Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
    That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.”
    —Edgar Albert Guest (1881–1959)

    “Play with your fancies: and in them behold
    Upon the hempen tackle ship-boys climbing;
    Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give
    To sound confused; behold the threaden sails
    Borne with th’ invisible and creeping wind.”
