Jane Harrison

I want to see a player on the football field. I want to see what kind of teammate they are, what kind of leadership qualities they have. I want to see how aggressive they are, how much fun they have playing the game.

Charles de Gaulle

When I was a kid and got in trouble, I'd always say, Mom, I'm in trouble. Well, Mom, I'm in trouble.

Herb Goldberg

Men are not against you; they are merely for themselves.

Gene Fowler

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'

Martin Luther King Jr.

Albert Camus
