Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose-it teaches you about life.

Of all the many people we meet in a lifetime,it is strange that so many of us find ourselves in thrall to one particular person. Once that face is seen,an involuntary heartache sets in for which there is no cure. All the wonder of this world finds shape in that one person and thereafter there is no reprieve, because this kind of love does not end,or not until death.

C. Wright Mills

The kindness and affection from the public have carried me through some of the most difficult periods, and always your love and affection have eased the journey.

Princess of Wales Diana

The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.
