Quote by Mary Little

A youth with his first cigar makes himself sick; a youth with his first girl makes everybody sick.

A youth with his first cigar makes himself sick; a youth wit

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that when a young person tries their first cigar, they may become physically ill from the experience; however, when a youth starts dating for the first time, their actions, behaviors or public displays of affection can become annoying or frustrating to others, causing a sense of unease or "sickness" among those around them. It contrasts society's differing reactions to these two instances, implying that romantic relationships can often garner more attention and disapproval than other potentially harmful activities.

Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell

Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got. Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.
