Quote by Tom Landry

...even after you've just won the Super Bowl -- especially after you've just won the Super Bowl -- there's always next year. If Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing, then the only thing is nothing -- emptiness, the nightmare of life without ultimate meaning.

Summary

This quote conveys the idea that no matter how great an achievement or success one attains, there is always a sense of continuous striving or relentless pursuit for more. Even after winning the Super Bowl, symbolizing the pinnacle of success, there is a realization that the triumph is temporary, and the focus shifts immediately to the next challenge or goal. The quote suggests that if one solely defines their life's purpose by winning, it leads to a feeling of emptiness as life lacks a deeper, more profound meaning beyond material accomplishments.

The women who take husbands not out of love but out of greed

The women who take husbands not out of love but out of greed, to get their bills paid, to get a fine house and clothes and jewels; the women who marry to get out of a tiresome job, or to get away from disagreeable relatives, or to avoid being called an old maid -- these are whores in everything but name. The only difference between them and my girls is that my girls gave a man his money's worth.
