Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.

Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.

Summary

This quote suggests that participating in football does not necessarily develop an individual's character, but rather filters out those who are deemed weak in terms of their physical abilities, mental strength, or overall competitive nature. It implies that the sport of football can be ruthless and unforgiving, as it tests an individual's resilience, determination, and ability to withstand challenges. The focus is on the idea that football separates those who possess the necessary qualities to succeed from those who do not, rather than fostering character development in all participants.

I was sat at the bottom of the garden a week ago, smoking a reflective cheroot, thinking about this and that - mostly that, and I just happened to glance at the night sky and I marvelled at the millions of stars glistening like pieces of quicksilver thrown carelessly onto black velvet. In awe I watched the waxen moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an amber chariot towards the void of infinite space wherein the tethered bolts of Jupiter and Mars hang forever in their orbital majesty; and as I looked at all this, I thought, 'I must put a roof on this lavatory.'

Lord of the Rings was my first experience making movies and at the time, I had no ideas how movies were done. I thought that's the way they're done, so in a way, I had nothing to compare it to.

That the Party did not seek power for its own ends, but only for the good of the majority. That it sought power because men in the mass were frail cowardly creatures who could not endure liberty or face the truth, and must be ruled over and systematically deceived by others who were stronger than themselves. That the choice for mankind lay between freedom and happiness, and that, for the great bulk of mankind, happiness was better.
