Women have seldom sufficient employment to silence their feelings a round of little cares or vain pursuits frittering away all strength of mind and organs they become naturally only objects of sense.

Some great men owe most of their greatness to the ability of detecting in those they destine for their tools the exact quality of strength that matters for their work.

From the depth of need and despair people can work together can organize themselves to solve their own problems and fill their own needs with dignity and strength.

Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic.

The men who have guided the destiny of the United States have found the strength for their tasks by going to their knees. This private unity of public men and their God is an enduring source of reassurance for the people of America.

The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves.

Religious beliefs evolved by group-selection tribe competing against tribe and the illogic of religions is not a weakness but their essential strength.

Although men are accused of not knowing their own weakness yet perhaps few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of.

If we resist our passions it is more due to their weakness than our strength.

Remember the storm is a good opportunity for the pine and the cypress to show their strength and their stability.

What is exciting is not for one person to be stronger than the other... but for two people to have met their match and yet they are equally as stubborn as obstinate as passionate as crazy as the other.

I have three kids and I'm a coach for a lot of their sports so I'm around them a lot but I see friends of mine with older kids and they don't really interact so much other than giving them a place to live.

People here don't identify themselves by their sports team.

I'm a father of four so whenever I'm not working my kids have their different sports or plays or school performances so I don't do a whole lot of other stuff besides being a dad.

They read their sports pages know their statistics and either root like hell or boo our butts off. I love it. Give me vocal fans pro or con over the tourist types who show up in Houston or Montreal and just sit there.

I do appreciate a woman who has a passion for sports and knows their stuff.

In sports people reach their peak very early. You have to move on. I don't know if I will ever surpass what I did at the Olympics but I'm still doing the work I always wanted to do.

They wanted me to play more sports because they were acutely sensitive to their children being one hundred percent American and they believed that all Americans played sports and loved sports.

For the tiny percentage of people who are negatively affected by our embracing of standards they can just get their sports somewhere else in the meantime. It's not like we're denying them hospital care.

Playing in New England and the Boston area the fans are so passionate about their sports if you don't play well they'll let you know so I know it's not something that they take lightly.

I have just come from a couple of raids where we had a very lively time and some of them had to pull their guns. I found it necessary to punch a few sports myself.

I have spoken with many former athletes and they tell me the best time they had was in sports. I listen to them and use their experience in my career.

The two major things that changed the makeup of all professional sports are money generated by television and courts that players went to in order to win their freedom as free agents.

Football basketball and the Olympic sports all have their problems with banned substances.
