I want to be remembered as the guy who gave his all whenever he was on the field.

Two purposes in human nature rule. Self-love to urge, and reason to restrain.

Alexander Pope

Such is the remorseless progression of human society, shedding lives and souls as it goes on its way. It is an ocean into which men sink who have been cast out by the law and consigned, with help most cruelly withheld, to moral death. The sea is the pitiless social darkness into which the penal system casts those it has condemned, an unfathomable waste of misery. The human soul, lost in those depths, may become a corpse. Who shall revive it?

Victor Hugo

Every happiness is a hostage to fortune.

Arthur Helps

The best way to remember your wife's birthday is to remember it once.

E. Joseph Cossman

He that will not sail till all dangers are over must never put to sea.

Thomas Fuller

Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against artifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality.

James Joyce

I used to have a silk dressing gown an uncle bought in Japan and when I came downstairs in it, my dad used to call me Davinia. There was never embarrassment about that kind of thing. My sister used to dress me up a lot. She thought I was a little doll.

David Walliams

Swallow your pride occasionally, it's not fattening.

Frank Tyger

My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life.

Lee Iacocca

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

Voltaire

You win not by chance, but by preparation.

Roger Maris

On his deathbed Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuse are for all the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved.

Mark Twain
