We had an inspection today of the brigade. The Twenty-third was pronounced the crack regiment in appearance, ... [but] I could see only six to ten in a company of the old men. They all smiled as I rode by. But as I passed away I couldn't help dropping a few natural tears. I felt as I did when I saw them mustered in at Camp Chase. (Rutherford B. Hayes)
To wear away the time, we learn to play chess, In thousands, horses and infantry chase each other. Move quickly into action, in attack or in retreat. Talent and swift feet give us the upper hand. View quote

Basketball isn't easy. All my life I've been striving to make myself better. It's a full time commitment. To be the best, you have to work the hardest. You have to chase what seems impossible over and over and over again, because giving up is not an option, and when you feel like you've reached your limit, it's only the beginning, that's when the time to dig deep, to find the courage to push some more, because if you've got the drive, the discipline, and the resolve to do what it takes to make yourself great, then the rewards are endless.

Twilight, a timid fawn, went glimmering by, And night, the dark blue hunter, followed fast: Ceaseless pursuit and flight were in the sky, But the long chase had ceased for us at last. View quote
George William Russell
Anxiety, the next gumption trap, is sort of the opposite of ego. You're so sure you'll do everything wrong you're afraid to do anything at all. Often this, rather than "laziness," is the real reason you find it hard to get started. This gumption trap of anxiety, which results from over-motivation, can lead to all kinds of errors of excessive fussiness. You fix things that don't need fixing, and chase after imaginary ailments. You jump to wild conclusions and build all kinds of errors into the machine because of your own nervousness. These errors, when made, tend to confirm your original underestimation of yourself. This leads to more errors, which lead to more underestimation, in a self-stoking cycle. The best way to break this cycle, I think, is to work out your anxieties on paper. Read every book and magazine you can on the subject. Your anxiety makes this easy and the more you read the more you calm down. View quote
Robert M. Pirsig
But with unhurrying chase, And unperturbéd pace, Deliberate speed, majestic instancy, They beat-and a Voice beat More instant than the Feet- "All things betray thee, who betrayest Me." View quote
Francis Thompson
I've been... chased by paparazzi, and they run lights, and they chase you and harass you the whole time. It happens all over the world, and it has certainly gotten worse. You don't know what it's like being chased by them. View quote
Tom Cruise
Ah! destructive Ignorance, what shall be done to chase thee out of the World! View quote
Cotton Mather
May she become a flourishing hidden tree That all her thoughts may like the linnet be, And have no business but dispensing round Their magnanimities of sound, Nor but in merriment begin a chase, Nor but in merriment a quarrel. View quote
William Butler Yeats
It's hard for a man to turn down sex ... if they chase us, we can't run that fast. View quote
Chris Rock
Most Americans probably aren't aware that there was a time in this country when tanks and cavalry were massed on Pennsylvania Avenue to chase away the unemployed. (Andy Grove)
I am Arnaut who love the wind, And chase the hare with the ox, And swim against the torrent. View quote

My hoarse-sounding horn Invites thee to the chase, the sport of kings. View quote
William Somervile
Like all strong-willed and self-asserting men, Mr. Chase had the faults of his qualities. He was never easy to drive in harness, or light in hand. He saw vividly what was wrong, and did not always allow for what was relatively right. View quote
Henry Adams
Vimes struggled to his feet, shook his head and set off after it. No thought was involved. It is the ancient instinct of terriers and policemen to chase anything that runs away. View quote
Terry Pratchett
To the greatest fans and the greatest sport in the world, thank you! Thank you for all the wonderful memories. This is the hardest decision I've ever made, but I'm at peace with it. Chase your dreams, work hard, and watch what happens. Good bye boxing. View quote
Manny Pacquiao

This Life, which seems so fair, Is like a bubble blown up in the air By sporting children's breath, Who chase it every where. View quote
William Drummond of Hawthornden
Lightly I sped when hope was high And youth beguiled the chase,- I follow, follow still: But I Shall never see her face. (Frederick Locker-Lampson)
On with the dance! let joy be unconfin'd No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet To chase the Glowing Hours with Flying feet. View quote
Lord Byron
Why do you lead me a wild-goose chase? View quote
Miguel de Cervantes
I don't know why one can't chase two rabbits at the same time, even in the literal sense of those words. If you have the hounds, go ahead and pursue. View quote
Anton Chekhov
Has not experience demonstrated quite recently that Jack the Ripper performed his exploits under the eye of the London police - a most active force - and that he only left off killing when the population of Whitechapel itself began to give chase to him? And in our every-day relations with our fellow-citizens, do you think that it is really judges, gaolers, and police that hinder anti-social acts from multiplying? The judge, ever ferocious, because he is a maniac of law, the accuser, the informer, the police spy, all those interlopers that live from hand to mouth around the Law Courts, do they not scatter demoralization far and wide into society? Read the trials, glance behind the scenes, push your analysis further than the exterior facade of law courts, and you will come out sickened. View quote
