Growing up if I hadn't had sports I don't know where I'd be. God only knows what street corners I'd have been standing on and God only knows what I'd have been doing but instead I played hockey and went to school and stayed out of trouble.

Alcohol doesn't console it doesn't fill up anyone's psychological gaps all it replaces is the lack of God. It doesn't comfort man. On the contrary it encourages him in his folly it transports him to the supreme regions where he is master of his own destiny.

Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports.

False friendship like the ivy decays and ruins the walls it embraces but true friendship gives new life and animation to the object it supports.

Peace with the Palestinians will open ports of peace all around the Mediterranean. The duty of leaders is to pursue freedom ceaselessly even in the face of hostility in the face of doubt and disappointment. Just imagine what could be.

My desire to curtail undue freedom of speech extends only to such public areas as restaurants airports streets hotel lobbies parks and department stores. Verbal exchanges between consenting adults in private are as of little interest to me as they probably are to them.

China's idea of fair trade is government subsidies of its textile and apparel exports to the United States currency manipulation and forgiveness of loans by its government banks.

America is becoming more and more dependent upon imports from foreign manufacturers than we are exports from our country in all fields: in appliances in clothing even food. This year America may become for the first time in its history a net food importer.

Our budget works to reduce and eliminate the risk of attacks at our ports rails in the skies our food supply and roads by allowing for increases in many of the programs and agencies to help protect these important areas of commerce and travel.

I'm girlie in the sense that I like makeup but I also love sports and man food.

We wanted Nike to be the world's best sports and fitness company. Once you say that you have a focus. You don't end up making wing tips or sponsoring the next Rolling Stones world tour.

My priority is to turn people - especially kids - on to sports and being active so they don't even have to think about it being good for their health. If people participate for the fun of it and believe me - it is fun then fitness programs will be much more successful.

I have long recognized a link between fitness and mental health and I think we need to encourage young people to take part in sports and team activities because we know it has such positive results.

As the proud father of two teens and past Chairman to the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness and Sports I am committed to educating parents and especially young people on ways to live a long healthy and active life.

I have a lovely family who supports me and it's great.

When I'm on my own I can be negative. I need my friends and family around to help pick me up if I've had a bad qualifying session. I think insecurity plagues a lot of sportspeople.

In spite of reports about playing with various teams I'm enjoying retirement with my family and have no plans to play football.

Parents need all the help they can get. The strongest as well as the most fragile family requires a vital network of social supports.

When trouble comes it's your family that supports you.

I grew up playing sports. There is a clear line between success and failure.

Other countries such as Israel successfully employ behavior detection techniques at their airports but the bloated ineffective bureaucracy of TSA has produced another security failure for U.S. transportation systems.

One of the things in the back of my mind is that after my sports experience I never want to be totally consumed by any one endeavor other than my family life.

A great deal has been written in recent years about the purported lack of motivation in the children of the Negro ghettos. Little in my experience supports this yet the phrase has been repeated endlessly and the blame in almost all cases is placed somewhere outside the classroom.

Tactics fitness stroke ability adaptability experience and sportsmanship are all necessary for winning.
