Examples

  • “The artist who is in mortal dread of being thought a politician or suspected of motives cannot feel, and will as surely fail, as the one who sits down to play the rôle of politician disguised as play-right.”

    Principles of Freedom

  • “With 31 games remaining in the regular season, general manager Ken Holland said it's vital for Osgood to step up his play-right away.”
