To get to know a truth properly, one must polemicize it.

Deep down, I reckon the sweetest moment will come when it's finally all over. When, at last, I know that I can stop fighting. Of course it'll also be a little sad. The sweetest moments, y'know, always come with just a little sadness.

Evander Holyfield

A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.

Bill Shankly

Greece's European neighbors were able step in and bolster the weak foundation on which Greece's free-spending budget was based.

I am told that today rather more than 60 per cent of the men who go to university go on a Government grant. This is a new class that has entered upon the scene. It is the white-collar proletariat. They do not go to university to acquire culture but to get a job, and when they have got one, scamp it. They have no manners and are woefully unable to deal with any social predicament. Their idea of a celebration is to go to a public house and drink six beers. They are mean, malicious and envious . They are scum.

W. Somerset Maugham

The surest plan to make a man is, think him so.
