Bernard Shaw, on cricket

The English, not being a spiritual people, invented cricket to give them some idea of eternity



//////////The aging of beings in the various orders of beings, their old age, brokenness of teeth, grayness of hair, wrinkling of skin, decline of life, weakness of faculties — this is called aging. The passing of beings out of the various orders of beings, their passing away, dissolution, disappearance, dying, completion of time, dissolution of the aggregates, laying down of the body — this is called death. So this aging and this death are what is called aging and death. -- MN 9 translated by Bhikkhus Nanamoli and Bodhi
