I have been afraid of putting air in a tire ever since I saw a tractor tire blow up and throw Newt Hardbine's father over the top of the Standard Oil sign. I'm not lying. He got stuck up there. About nineteen people congregated during the time it took for Norman Strick to walk up to the Courthouse and blow the whistle for the volunteer fire department. They eventually did come with the ladder and haul him down, and he wasn't dead but lost his hearing and in many other ways was never the same afterward. They said he overfilled the tire.

Lengthy immersion in the works of other composers can tire. The music of Mozart does not tire, and this is one of its miracles.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
If thy friends tire of thee, remember that it is human to tire of everything.
John Lancaster Spalding
I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I’m dead.
I cannot live on tomorrow’s bread.Langston Hughes
I'm not trying to say,
That I'm smelling of roses,
But when will we tire,
Of putting shit up our noses.Lily Allen
A frame of adamant, a soul of fire,
No dangers fright him, and no labors tire.Samuel Johnson
