Sure I played, did you think I was born at the age of 70 sitting in a dugout trying to manage guys like you?

I made a conscious decision not to tell anyone in my life. Now I tell people - don't tell anyone your idea until you have invested enough of yourself in it that you are not going to turn back.

Chinese Proverb

The truth may not set you free, but used carefully, it can confuse the hell out of your enemies.

Laurell K Hamilton

Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.

Confucius

Shit, money, and the World, the three American truths, powering the American mobility, claimed the Slothrops, clasped them for good to the country's fate. But they did not prosper... about all they did was persist
