I'm lucky. The best possible place in the world for training is Addis Ababa so I am home all the time except when I am racing. I like to be there near my family my kids also the real estate business I run with my wife.

I tend to foster drama via bleakness. If I want the reader to feel sympathy for a character I cleave the character in half on his birthday. And then it starts raining. And he's made of sugar.

I think that the best training a top manager can be engaged in is management by example.

Priests are not men of the world it is not intended that they should be and a University training is the one best adapted to prevent their becoming so.

The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.

If I don't make the team out of spring training I'll keep a good attitude. I'll just go polish up the parts of my game that made me not stay in the big leagues.

The traditional Christian attitude toward human personality was that human nature was essentially good and that it was formed and modified by social pressures and training.

Life is the only art that we are required to practice without preparation and without being allowed the preliminary trials the failures and botches that are essential for training.

Diplomacy: the art of restraining power.

Religion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training for it trains people as to how they shall think.

I started to make a study of the art of war and revolution and whilst abroad underwent a course in military training. If there was to be guerrilla warfare I wanted to be able to stand and fight with my people and to share the hazards of war with them.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit.

You know 'The Golden Girls' was a very unusual show to start on. I was young and it was a show about old people and it was a very traditional show but it was also an amazing training ground for a joke-writer. It forced me to learn those skills.

Training in taekwondo for eight years and then being able to do it in a film was pretty amazing.

I got amazing training both with Theatre Sports... back in Edmonton Alberta - I can't give those people enough credit - and the daytime drama I did. Incredible training both of them.

Looking back on those games I probably hustled out of position as much as I hustled into position since I really never had any real training. I was working on instincts alone.
