There's a positive side to film and television, the sense of feeding into the theater... Your fans will follow you, hopefully, and be open-minded to see you play other things and experience other stories you want to tell.

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.

Douglas Wilder

The greatest manager has a knack for making ballplayers think they are better than they think they are.

Reggie Jackson

It was the upward-reaching and fathomlessly hungering, heart-breaking love for the beauty of the world at its most beautiful, and, beyond that, for that beauty east of the sun and west of the moon which is past the reach of all but our most desperate desiring and is finally the beauty of Beauty itself, of Being itself and what lies at the heart of Being.

Frederick Buechner

In the evening of life we shall be judged on love, and not one of us is going to come off very well, and were it not for my absolute faith in the loving forgiveness of my Lord I could not call on him to come.

I went to a military school between the ages of six and 12 and later into the air force. You learn discipline and strength of character.

Larry Hagman

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.

James Russell Lowell

To reform a world, to reform a nation, no wise man will undertake and all but foolish men know, that the only solid, though a far slower reformation, is what each begins and perfects on himself.

Thomas Carlyle

Gifts must affect the receiver to the point of shock.

Walter Benjamin
