Frank Gifford	Pro football is like nuclear warfare. There are no winners, only survivors.	101

I started with casting: As an athlete, there's nothing worse for me than watching a sports movie and the woman that they hire can't run or can't shoot. It sets women's sports back years.	101
Greg Louganis	The Games are just a nice, positive way to build friendships, camaraderie and, of course, self-esteem. Plus, the Games are a great opportunity for people to participate in sports who normally wouldn't.	101

Nancy Greene	I think what it takes to succeed remains the same. You have to have a real love of your sport to carry you through all the bad times, you still want to go ski even when things aren't working. You must have a commitment to work hard and to never give up.	101

Chloe Bennet	I grew up with six brothers, and I'm from Chicago, so princesses and Barbie dolls were not around the house. It was more like sports and comic books, so getting to work for Marvel is like my version of being able to be a princess.	101
Chris Gabrieli	Every child should have time for arts, music, sports, drama, robotics, school newspapers and the like, not to mention recess and play.	101
Cynthia Voigt	Reading was my hobby, my sport and my activity of choice.

David Gregory	On Sundays, I'm up at five and in the office by six. After the show, around midday, I flip the switch, and it's all family. Our kids play sports, so we're running around.	101
David Sax	Though sporting a hideous mustache is in no way comparable to the physical pain and mental suffering men with these diseases endure, Movember still forces participants to challenge their manhood on a daily basis. Growing a moustache for men's cancer isn't as feel-good an activity as running a marathon for a cure.	101
Diana Nyad	Swimming is probably the ultimate of burnout sports. It's ironic because millions of people who swim as their regular exercise love the meditation aspect of it; you don't wind up with any orthopedic injuries. But when you swim at a world class level for hours and hours - the loneness of the long distance runner.	101
Dick Schaap	It's kind of ironic that the two sports with the greatest characters, boxing and horse racing, have both been on the decline. In both cases it's for the lack of a suitable hero.	101

Laura Wilkinson	Fear has been a big battle, it runs rampant in my sport so I love to overcome that, to challenge it head on, because there is nothing that feels as accomplished as overcoming a fear, and something that has blocked you in such a big way.	101
Luke Bracey	I see similarities in the sports I played growing up in the sense of how I tackle a role when I get a job. A lot of effort goes in on an individual basis.

Mario Lopez	There's three things men always talk about - women, sports, and cars.	101

Peter Ueberroth	The integrity of the game is everything.	101

Richard Attias	Sport allows us to engage in dialogue and to build bridges, and it may even have the capacity to reshape international relations. The Olympic Games embody perfectly this universal mission.	101

Lou Boudreau	Yeah, I miss it. You don't just break off a friendship you've had with a sport, and with all those you've met all over the country.

And, actually, there's nothing in the game of baseball that hasn't happened to me.	101

Carl Crawford	'Madden' is all about speed, and the Falcons have it on both sides of the ball. I love playing sports games. I played my PlayStation so much, I pretty much wore it out.	101

James McNerney	My sports were team sports: ice hockey and baseball. The whole team dynamic is similar in business.

Matt Walsh	I'm a huge fan of Chicago sports and Chicago food, and I love going home and my family is still there. I guess it's pretty easy to have a normal life in Chicago.	101
Stephen M. Ross	Sports is the common denominator in the world that brings everyone together. If there's any one place in the world where there is equality, it is probably sports.

Oscar De La Hoya	Everything I have in this world, I owe to the sport of boxing, and I won't ever forget that.	102
Paul Walker	I live by 'Go big or go home.' That's with everything. It's like either commit and go for it or don't do it at all. I apply that to everything. I apply that to relationships, I apply that to like sports, I apply that to everything. That's what I live by. That's how I like it.	102
Phil Jackson	Approach the game with no preset agendas and you'll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.	102

Apolo Ohno	It is not up to me whether I win or lose. Ultimately, this might not be my day. And it is that philosophy towards sports, something that I really truly live by. I am emotional. I want to win. I am hungry. I am a competitor. I have that fire. But deep down, I truly enjoy the art of competing so much more than the result.	102
ASAP Ferg	Alexander Wang is a young designer, and his style is so profound. He took sports and street and kind of combined it into upscale high fashion. He made a white T-shirt a luxury.	102
Bill Russell	What's more important than who's going to be the first black manager is who's going to be the first black sports editor of the New York Times.	102
Darell Hammond	We are raising today's children in sterile, risk-averse and highly structured environments. In so doing, we are failing to cultivate artists, pioneers and entrepreneurs, and instead cultivating a generation of children who can follow the rules in organized sports games, sit for hours in front of screens and mark bubbles on standardized tests.	102
Frank Gifford	Gray skies are just clouds passing over.	102
Inga Cadranel	It's not that I don't want a fast car. I like the speed. I'm just not the type of person who finds a sports car a sexy car.	102
Jack Benny	Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air.	102
Kyrsten Sinema	I think what endurance sports teach you is to stay dedicated, stay focused, and also to understand you're going to have ups and downs, but you need to keep running right through them.	102
Linford Christie	There was no money in the sport but we'd be out there day in, day out, rain or shine, doing it.	102
Nathan Kress	I do enjoy playing some sports, even though none of them are organized. I enjoy football most of all.	102
Randeep Hooda	There is no life without sport and no sport without competition.	102
Rebel Wilson	I was sporty in high school. I played tennis and hockey, and was basketball captain. Then I went to university and stopped doing sport and started eating ice cream.	102
Richard Hammond	It's not just the kid who's spent every penny from his job to upgrade his car to tell the world he cares about sports cars, it's also the person driving around in a fuel-conscious hybrid electric car, because it's more a message to the world than an effective means of saving fuel, to be quite honest.	102
Susan Estrich	Violent predators are not like the rest of us. They kill for fun, for sport, for the sake of it. To compare them to animals is an insult to animals. To expect that we can rehabilitate them assumes a will to change.	102
Thomas Keneally	So nonetheless given the importance that was placed on sport in Australia, I wanted to be part of that scene, particularly since I had felt very strongly in my early schooling being marginalised even in the Catholic school.	102
Will McDonough	Overall, I think Michael Jordan is the greatest athlete in any particular sport. He dominated the game for the Chicago Bulls and brought the NBA to its greatest peak of popularity.	102
William Baldwin	Wrestling is a team sport, and an individual sport all rolled into one.	102
William Petersen	If I stayed a football player, my career would have been over 20 years ago. As it is, my knees are shot. I found I got the same good feeling in acting that I had in sports, but I found I could have a more profound impact on people.	102
Edwin Moses	My concentration level blocks out everything. Concentration is why some athletes are better than others. You develop that concentration in training and concentrate in a meet.	102
Goran Ivanisevic	My sporting hero was Drazen Petrovic, the NBA basketball player, who was killed in a car accident in 1993. He was a good friend, an unbelievable player, and I dedicated my Wimbledon win to him.	102
Grant Hill	The great thing about sports is you constantly have to prove yourself. You constantly have to go out there and do it, day in and day out.	102
Josh Hutcherson	I like both athletic girls and girly girls. It depends on their personality. I like girls who can go out and play sports with me and throw the football around, but you don't want a girl who's too much tougher than you. I like brainy girls who can respond to what I'm saying.	102
Martin Bashir	For watching sports, I tend to drink Guinness; early evenings always begin well with a Grey Goose and tonic with plenty of lime; and on a cold winter's night, there's nothing quite like a glass of Black Maple Hill... an absolute peach of a bourbon.	102
Nick Price	He's got everything. He' not a great player yet because he hasn't won any major championships, but it's a matter of time. He's an outstanding talent. I didn't realize how tall he is.	102
Paul Tonko	As Americans, we have traditionally been the optimists sporting the 'can-do' attitude. But when it comes to addressing climate adaptation and resiliency, we seem to be more 'can't do' than 'can-do.'	102
Peggy Fleming	I think exercise tests us in so many ways, our skills, our hearts, our ability to bounce back after setbacks. This is the inner beauty of sports and competition, and it can serve us all well as adult athletes.	102
Sergei Bubka	My main idea was to create a sports facility for the basics. This is why I established the club.	102
Sherwin B. Nuland	Nosology (from the Greek 'nosos,' meaning 'disease,' and 'logos,' referring to 'study') is not a sport for the timid, and certainly not for those so scrupulous about rules and order that they demand consistency in all things.	102
St. Vincent	Whirlyball is only the most awesome sport on the planet! It's like bumper cars plus lacrosse meets basketball.	102
Whitey Herzog	I'm not buddy-buddy with the players. If they need a buddy, let them buy a dog.	102
Al Kaline	One reason outfielders don't have stronger arms might be they don't practice as much as we did. Most teams today don't take outfield practice. Another reason is baseball has to compete with other sports now - basketball, football, soccer - for the better athletes that might have more skills and stronger arms.	102
Becki Newton	After leaving school, I travelled around Europe for about six months. In Denmark, I thought that was my chance to get an amazing haircut, so I went to what I thought was a great hairdresser. It turned out to be the car wash of hairdressers, and I walked out sporting yet another pudding bowl, but this time with a stripe bleached down the centre.	102
Bonnie Langford	Dance never really goes away; it just reforms and reinvents, and it's become more athletic with new connection to fitness and sport. Dance used to have this exclusivity, but not any more.	102
Cathy Rigby	There's so much denial in gymnastics. It's a beautiful sport but the other part is numbing. You become machinelike. They'll refute this, but I've been around it. I know.	102
Chadwick Boseman	I'm the kind of guy who comes home and checks scores for everything. I'm a sports fan in general, so I pretty much keep up with who's ahead in a division and everything that's going on.	102
Dave Bautista	I never excelled at one sport or had a very strong passion for anything other than wrestling and bodybuilding.	102
David Stern	It was the Michael Jordan/Nike phenomenon that really let people see that athletes were OK, and black athletes were OK. Defying a previous wisdom - not only that black athletes wouldn't sell in white America, but that the NBA as a predominantly black sport could not sell in white America.	102
Dietrich Mateschitz	When launching a product called an Energy Drink and named Red Bull, a product that stimulates body and mind, it is a short step to the roots where Red Bull came from. We have been doing this for 20 years - now it's called adventure sports, extreme sports, and outdoor sports.	102
Elizabeth Price	Anyone could be in the orchestra, or sports team, or arts club at my school. It was precisely the kind of inclusivity that now meets with a sort of scorn and derision as a prizes-for-all culture that generates only mediocrity. There's something so insulting about the idea that including lots of people means mediocrity.	102
Gordon Taylor	Footballers are an easy target. They are offered big lines of credit. Every sport is vulnerable; it's such a big gambling industry, and there are problems with syndicates in other countries.	102
Jay Mohr	Not everyone likes sports. Gandhi and Malcolm X come to mind.	102
Peter Ueberroth	Other sports play once a week but this sport is with us every day.	102
Roger Kahn	Tennis and golf are best played, not watched.	102
Ted Ligety	I'm an athlete, so I'm very interested in making the sport as safe as possible - just for my own career longevity.	102
Adam Green	You may love football, but that doesn't mean you have any business trying to play the sport. It's the same thing with filmmaking... everybody has a great idea for a movie, but do you have the stamina to get good at your craft and deal with how heartbreaking it is?	102
Al Boliska	Have you ever noticed what golf spells backwards?	102
Al Michaels	I think the Cowboys are one of only two teams in all of sports that engender love and hate to that extreme. The other is the Yankees. You love the Yankees or you hate the Yankees.	102
Allan McNish	Especially with sports cars, when you have got so many cars on the track with various degrees of competitiveness, then something will happen. It's the nature of racing, the law of averages. If you want to be a front-runner then you are going to have to push very hard, and collisions can happen.	102
Daniel Handler	I didn't like books where people played on a sports team and won a bunch of games, or went to summer camp and had a wonderful time. I really liked a book where a witch might cut a child's head off or a pack of angry dogs might burst through a door and terrorize a family.	102
Mark Waters	I love sports. When I'm not playing, I'm watching, reading, or otherwise obsessing about them. This probably stems from growing up in Indiana, where if you didn't at least attempt to play basketball, you were considered of dubious moral character.	102
Misty May-Treanor	It's important to just kind of get away from your sport until you miss it. It's about taking time to enjoy other aspects of life or learn new things. It helps rejuvenate.	102
Alyson Stoner	I enjoy going to the Y. I take all the fitness classes that my dad takes; that's sort of our bonding - anything athletic, anything sports related.	102
Bradley James	I grew up very much in a sporting background. I always wanted to be an actor, but my escapism always came in sports.	102
Chade-Meng Tan	I was always very different from the other kids. I have an I.Q. of 156. I didn't play sports. I thought big. I thought I could achieve great things. I don't want to sound megalomaniac, but my whole life is about doing something for the world, from as far back as I can remember.	102
Chris Froome	In sport you always think the strongest guy should be going for it and getting the best results. The thing is, cycling also has a very important team aspect, which I don't think that a lot of people fully grasp.	102
Dave Checketts	Sports fans have been mistreated for a long time. They have overpaid for inferior food and they have had poor service.	102
David Belle	If you see in sports at a super high level, people get hurt or have injuries when there isn't that pleasure, the true pleasure of the sport, when they're tired or demoralized or they're not quite focused.	102
January Jones	I lived in a town of 400 until I was like nine or ten. My dad coached all the sports - he was a gym teacher and health teacher for grades K-12.	102
Joel Silver	I never really was that passionate about playing sports. But when I was at this Mt. Herman school, I did have the ability to throw the frisbee. So when this sport evolved, it was fun because I was good at it.	102
Mark Russell	You know that a given in life in human nature, is that at a sporting event, a baseball game, a football game, you never introduce a politician, is because he'll be booed. I don't care if he's the most beloved person in the world, its part of the game.	102
Ronnie O'Sullivan	My dad's method in his madness was to try every sport and then observe what I liked. I played football, tennis, golf, cricket but I loved my snooker.	102
Steve Truglia	My whole life I've actually been training to be a stunt man without realising it. I've always loved extreme sports, and I now I get paid for it.	102
Amit Bhatia	My father-in-law and I always had great interest in Indian sport. At the Athens Olympics, watching the wrestling event, we started discussing the state of Indian sport - inadequate representation, lack of satisfactory results etc. We thought we should do something about it.	102
Bob Hayes	I'm thrilled, I'm grateful, I'm blessed. I played for the world's greatest professional sports team in history. Once a Dallas Cowboy, always a Dallas Cowboy.	102
Bob Verdi	What's unfortunate about buying a pitcher for $12 million is that he carries no warranty.	102
Jeff Ross	I've actually tried to roast somebody that I don't like, and it doesn't go well. Either they're a bad sport or I'm not as funny as I could be.	102
Jason Lee	Growing up in Huntington Beach, you were either a traditional sports athlete, a skateboarder, or a surfer. I got my first skateboard when I was five and skated off and on over the years, did a little BMX racing as a kid, and then in my freshman or sophomore year I started getting a little bit more into skateboarding.	102
Avery Brundage	The Olympic Games must not be an end in itself, they must be a means of creating a vast programme of physical education and sports competitions for all young people.	102
Cyrus S. Poonawalla	Along with my passion for horse breeding, I was a horse racing enthusiast... In 1974 I was elected as a committee member and subsequently as a steward of the Turf Club. I had a burning desire to clean up the sport, which had always carried the stigma of gambling and manipulation.	102
Melvin Maddocks	Watching baseball under the lights is like observing dogs indoors, at a pedigree show. In both instances, the environment is too controlled to suit the species.	102
Joe Garagiola	Baseball is drama with an endless run and an ever-changing cast.	102
Jack Lemmon	If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.	102
Jonathan Lipnicki	I grew up in Westlake Villiage, a suburb of L.A. There was a guy there who was a fighter and was like, 'I'll teach you to box.' I started a little bit of boxing, then it crossed over into jiu-jitsu. I was into it for a little while, but then I started doing basketball, baseball, team sports.	102
Juan Antonio Samaranch	Olympism is the marriage of sport and culture.	102
Jean-Claude Killy	The best and fastest way to learn a sport is to watch and imitate a champion.	102
Jim Bouton	Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?	102
Jennie Finch	Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others. Discover your gifts and let them shine! Softball is amazing that way as a sport. Everyone on the field has a slightly different ability that makes them perfect for their position.	103
Arnold Schwarzenegger	Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.	103
Vince Lombardi	If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?	103
Yogi Berra	You wouldn't have won if we'd beaten you.	103
Bobby Fischer	I hate ready-made suits, button-down collars, and sports shirts.	103
Carl Lewis	Life is about timing.	103
Casey Stengel	Most ball games are lost, not won.	103
Common	I come from playing sports. I compete, so I gotta be better than I was last year. I gotta get better, and that better gotta come from just growing. From learning new stuff to working on it, experience it in life, and failing.	103
Deepika Padukone	Maybe because I am from a sports background, I don't give up easily. I am a fighter.	103
Fred Perry	To its great credit, Wimbledon has been a leader in bringing about change and improvement in the sport.	103
Howard Cosell	The importance that our society attaches to sport is incredible. After all, is football a game or a religion? The people of this country have allowed sports to get completely out of hand.	103
Jack Nicklaus	There isn't a flaw in his golf or his makeup. He will win more majors than Arnold Palmer and me combined. Somebody is going to dust my records. It might as well be Tiger, because he's such a great kid.	103
Joe E. Lewis	I play in the low 80s. If it's any hotter than that, I won't play.	103
Kenny Chesney	It sounds like a cliche, but it... you do sing about what you know about. And I grew up in a small town, and I grew up in a place where your whole world revolved around friends, family, school, and church, and sports.	103
Linda Ronstadt	In the United States, we spend millions of dollars on sports because it promotes teamwork, discipline, and the experience of learning to make great progress in small increments. Learning to play music does all this and more.	103
Louis Zamperini	That's one thing you learn in sports. You don't give up; you fight to the finish.	103
Lynn Davies	There are hurdles to overcome in sport and in life. Sport is a very valuable learning ground for how to live your life in the best possible way.	103
Paul Allen	You've got to enjoy time with your family and friends, and if you're involved in sports franchises, those peak moments in playoff games. You have to enjoy life.	103
Phil Knight	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.	103
Roger Federer	You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it.	103
Ted Williams	Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.	103
Tony McCoy	You don't have to be Einstein to see that horse racing is dangerous. Those two ambulances driving behind you aren't there for the scenery. I will never get over the fatalities of colleagues. It is the saddest and toughest part of this sport.	103
Verne Troyer	I'm a big sports fan. College football is my favorite.	103
Warren Farrell	I don't think there's anything that is a greater area of discrimination against women today than the fact that nowhere in the world is there a female role model in team sports that more than half of a general audience would recognize.	103
Willie Mays	In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport. You must also be prepared to work hard and be willing to accept constructive criticism. Without one-hundred percent dedication, you won't be able to do this.	103
Zach Braff	As a kid who wasn't into sports, at school I felt almost alienated at times, whereas in the theatre community there was this amazing sense of camaraderie. Early on, we would go to rehearsals with my dad and I was like the mascot for the backstage crew. That was a big part of my childhood, so I dreamed of one day doing a play in London.	103
Abhishek Bachchan	I still feel that in India we look upon sports as a recreational activity - which it is - but people have to understand that there is a career in sports. It's not just necessary to be a doctor or a lawyer or an engineer, as most of us Indians appear to think that our children should grow up to be.	103
Alain Prost	So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport its the longterm. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race.	103
Carla Gugino	When a sports movie really works, it gets you on all levels, because the stakes are high. It's black and white. It's win or lose.	103
Damian Lewis	I love playing sport.	103
Fernando Torres	Football is a team sport and not an individual sport. We win as a team, and every individual is better if we are part of the team.	103
Fridtjof Nansen	It is better to go skiing and think of God, than go to church and think of sport.	103
Geoffrey Rush	You had to be into sport and, sad to say, I'm a traitor to my country because I don't have a sporting bone in my body.	103
Greg Brenneman	Business is a team sport.	103
Henry Chadwick	It was not long before I was struck with the idea that base ball was just the game for a national sport for Americans.	103
Lee Haney	I was able to get along with everybody. I really enjoyed all of those guys. They were unique in their own ways, and I think that's what made the sport fun. We had a great time laughing and having fun.	103
Luke Scott	I believe God created sports for a good reason. It's recreation. It's something that we enjoy. It teaches us a lot as well... I believe God is a sports fan.	103
Nick D'Aloisio	I like playing sport. I'm a bit of a design enthusiast, and like spending time with my girlfriend and mates.	103
Ryne Sandberg	I had too much respect for the game to leave it behind or to make it my second or third sport in college.	103
Tom Glavine	If you're giving me tickets to the football game, baseball game or hockey game, I'm taking the tickets to the hockey game. For me, it's by far the most fun sport to go and watch live and be part of. I just don't know why it doesn't translate as well on TV.	103
Warren Moon	In football, it's the ultimate team sport. You have to have good people around you as a quarterback for things to happen.	103
Cobi Jones	I am excited to bring my deep knowledge, passion and expertise of soccer in this country to The New York Cosmos. They truly represent where this sport is headed on a national and international level, and I want to make history with them.	103
Deion Sanders	I don't care what they say about me when I'm through with sports. I don't want to be known as anything else in life but a great father.	103
Gagan Narang	Cricket pays well, so a lot of people are naturally drawn towards the game. But to carve a niche in non-cricket sports is not easy. So state governments need to be proactive. Indians need to be made aware of the power of an Olympic medal. It should be treated at par with an Oscars or a Nobel Prize.	103
George Brett	If a tie is like kissing your sister, losing is like kissing you grandmother with her teeth out.	103
Howard Bach	Don Chew is the owner of the Orange County Badminton Club, the location where I train. He played badminton when he was young and always had the passion for it. He never made it at the international level, but he wanted to give back to the sport. The majority of the elite players train at Orange County Badminton Club.	103
Lucy Walker	The world of extreme sports is also one of big business. Kids might think that snowboarding is the ultimate freedom, but this freedom is being marketed to them by commercial sponsors.	103
Nacho Figueras	Polo is the most inviting sport I've ever seen.	103
Nick Faldo	He hits it long. His shoulders are impressively quick through the ball. That's where he's getting his power from. He's young and has great elasticity.	103
Peggy Fleming	The first thing is to love your sport. Never do it to please someone else. It has to be yours.	103
Peter Hollingworth	I was no great achiever at school, either academically or in the sporting field... I was always tending to be in trouble.	103
Rahul Dravid	A career in sport is almost impossible to manage without the support, and guidance, and reassurance of family and friends. During tough times, and there always are, this is whom we go to.	103
Richie Sambora	Rock and roll is a contact sport. I enjoy playing the tunes that really get the people going.	103
Rogers Hornsby	I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it.	103
Saina Nehwal	My uncles and other relatives are against encouraging girls in every aspect, and that includes sports. I hardly interact with them. My parents are more open. They back me all the way.	103
Todd English	I liked the energy of cooking, the action, the camaraderie. I often compare the kitchen to sports and compare the chef to a coach. There are a lot of similarities to it.	103
Bill Simmons	First impressions matter more in basketball than in any other sport, and they can be savored only in person. Players can't hide behind pads or helmets, so we can stare at them, evaluate every move they make: running, jumping, walking, even ogling the cheerleaders. We can see every ripple and tattoo. If they're lazy, we can tell.	103
Chad Harbach	I was a ballplayer, but only for a limited time. I grew up playing in Wisconsin. It's a very sports-centric part of the country that I grew up in and I played a lot of sports, but baseball first and foremost. I played through high school. I was a middle-infielder.	103
Dick Schaap	I wanted to be a sportswriter because I loved sports and I could not hit the curve ball, the jump shot, or the opposing ball carrier.	103
Emanuel Steward	You look at boxing being an international, world-famous sport, right up there next with soccer, and there's only two fighters the people want to see fight. Two little fellows, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.	103
John Tesh	When I was first writing, I was writing mostly about sporting events, which was really what my assignments were. I was working on the Tour de France bike race and the Barcelona Olympic Games, and those songs tend to be very big, very bombastic-type music, which is the type of music that I love to write.	103
Joseph Chilton Pearce	Play is the only way the highest intelligence of humankind can unfold.	103
Lamorne Morris	I'm a big sports fan - mainly basketball.	103
Lionel Barber	There were always plenty of newspapers in the house. 'The Times', 'Guardian', 'Daily Telegraph' and 'Daily Mail' were all regular fixtures on the coffee table. I used to enjoy reading 'The Times' editorial pages and the 'Daily Mail' sports pages.	103
Pat Cash	I call tennis the McDonald's of sport - you go in, they make a quick buck out of you, and you're out.	103
Robert Powell	The sport in Scouting is to find the good in every boy and develop it.	103
Roger Kahn	Football is violence and cold weather and sex and college rye.	103
Sean Durkin	Sports teams, people who follow sports teams, religion, churches, work - any company, I find that people just generally have a need to belong to something larger than themselves.	103
Alberto Salazar	We may train or peek for a certain race, but running is a lifetime sport.	103
Angela Ruggiero	I find that I've tried to become a better hockey player every year and not just hold on. At the same time, I've also made it a point to increase or grow in some other area of my life. If I were just playing hockey, I would probably be done with the sport.	103
Bruce Dern	Sports betting is all about money management, so the most money won on one event is not the most important thing.	103
Daniel Cudmore	When things could've gone really bad, rugby caught my interest and I really stuck with it. The sport brought me, maybe off the streets where we'd be fighting, into putting in a good effort in the rugby field where you're kind of rewarded for that rough behaviour instead of in trouble with the law.	103
Jane Curtin	I think if you go from show to show without doing that big PR blitz it's helpful because people can get pretty sick of your face if you're just out there all the time. And keep a low profile, hold in your stomach and be a good sport.	103
Lewis H. Lapham	Unlike any other business in the United States, sports must preserve an illusion of perfect innocence.	103
Martina Hingis	I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We're so much prettier than all the other women in sports.	103
Paul Fussell	The more violent the body contact of the sports you watch, the lower the class.	103
Sutton Foster	I think everybody has something that takes them away or makes them happier. To some people it's baseball or sports or knitting or the movies.	103
Ana Ivanovic	If I make a change to a young kid to play any sport, not only tennis, instead of spending time in front of the TV or computer, that is good. I want to give them a good example: 'Hey, go out and play and see the world.'	103
Dawn Fraser	The Olympics remain the most compelling search for excellence that exists in sport, and maybe in life itself.	103
Mark Teixeira	My greatest memories as a kid were playing sports with my dad and watching sports with my dad.	103
Miguel Cotto	Some of our best fighters are not only Puerto Rican greats but all-time greats of the sport. Carlos Ortiz, Wilfredo Gomez, Wilfredo Benitez and Felix 'Tito' Trinidad and many others have made Puerto Rican boxing what it is today, and I am only an extension of their greatness.	103
Reggie Bush	I like rugby - I watch it from time to time. It's basically football without pads but probably a little bit more dangerous than football. You've got to be a lot tougher in that sport - but I definitely like watching rugby and watching those guys knock each other around. It looks like a fun sport.	103
Alexandra Kosteniuk	A woman can beat any man; it's difficult to imagine another kind of sport where a woman can beat a man. That's why I like chess.	103
Duffy Daugherty	Football isn't a contact sport, it's a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.	103
Roman Sebrle	If the javelin had hit me 10cm to the left, it would have punctured my lung, 20cm higher the throat, which would have been the worst-case scenario. Just 1cm higher and it would have hit bone, muscle and tendon and that would have been the end of my sporting career.	103
Ron Fairly	If I had to name the number one asset you could have for any sport I'd say speed. In baseball, all a guy with speed has to do is make contact.	103
Arthur Blank	My commitment to Atlanta and passion for sports and competition make this acquisition a perfect fit for me.	103
Avery Brundage	Sport must be amateur or it is not sport. Sports played professionally are entertainment.	103
Matthew Barney	A lot of these angles are really about trying to mimic broadcast sports angles in order to anchor the scene, to sort of normalize it before it becomes abstracted.	103
Miguel Indurain	Sooner or later a rider will emerge who will win more Tours. In every sport we have seen how the records eventually get broken and cycling is no exception.	103
Justin Verlander	I think video games are a huge part of our society now. Having kids play baseball video games helps them understand and love the game. It could actually push them to get out there and play the game for real. That's great for the sport.	103
Jonathan Lipnicki	If you want to perform at your ultimate best, if you want to be the best you can be in sports and in school, mentally, physically - chiropractic is the way, because everything has to do with your nervous system.	103
Just Fontaine	I think it's good for sporting justice that Ronaldo scored twice in the final.	103
Jennie Finch	Growing up, I looked up to major league baseball players, and now these young women have amazing, incredible women all across the board, from swimming to gymnastics to softball to basketball. It is incredible how far women have come and women in sports have come.	104
Julia Child	In France, cooking is a serious art form and a national sport.	104
Bill Rodgers	Anybody can be a runner... We were meant to move. We were meant to run. It's the easiest sport.	104
Bob Hope	If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf.	104
Dean Martin	If you drink don't drive. Don't even putt.	104
Gareth Bale	I always believed in my ability, but I think in any sport you need that little bit of luck.	104
Gordie Howe	All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity.	104
Graydon Carter	I have always thought you could take the measure of a man by his sports manners - that is to say, the way in which he conducts himself on the playing field, or even over a game of chess or cards.	104
Haile Gebrselassie	You need three things to win: discipline, hard work and, before everything maybe, commitment. No one will make it without those three. Sport teaches you that.	104
John Madden	That's the biggest gap in sports, the difference between the winner and the loser of the Super Bowl.	104
Kristi Yamaguchi	I don't mind the sparkle - I think it's kind of a tradition in skating. I don't think the men really need sparkles, but for the women it's part of the glamour of our sport.	104
Kurt Angle	It took me a few years to explain to my colleagues and my mentors and the people that I looked up to and I wrestled that I'm not in wrestling anymore. I'm in sports entertainment. Pro' wrestling doesn't mean that we're saying we're a step up above amateur wrestling, because there's nothing above Olympic wrestling.	104
Michael Phelps	I won't predict anything historic. But nothing is impossible.	104
Paula Radcliffe	It's important that athletes can compete on a level playing field. And youngsters coming into the sport can know that if they are working hard and training hard, they'll see a true reflection of where they stand and what they can achieve worldwide and not be swayed by people who are cheating.	104
Satchel Paige	Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.	104
Troy Polamalu	It takes a tremendous amount of skill to be a football player. And some of these guys have enough skills to do other sports. Soccer could be one. Basketball could be another. Things where you need incredible hand-eye coordination are always options. I think a football player would be able to adapt to a lot of sports.	104
Ty Cobb	Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It's no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It's a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest.	104
Yuvraj Singh	In sport, there is always room for improvement. Whenever I see my innings against the West Indies or Australia, I think, 'Maybe, I could have done this better or should have changed that.' See, cricket is a skill game, and one can always improve upon the impact one has on an innings.	104
Ben Hogan	The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight.	104
Chris Moneymaker	Never in a million years did I think the sport of poker would blow up the way it did.	104
Daley Thompson	Sport fosters many things that are good; teamwork and leadership.	104
George J. Mitchell	So I developed very early a massive inferiority complex, and I've told the story often about how that inspired me later in life to get involved in other things, because I couldn't out-do my brothers in sports, and it's a very competitive relationship.	104
Harsha Bhogle	Cricket is not a rational sport in India, and we go overboard.	104
Johan Cruyff	The disabled people that do sport, they don't think about what they don't have but try to get better with what they do have. That is the same for me.	104
Katarina Witt	Figure skating is a mixture of art and sport.	104
Philippe Cousteau, Jr.	I love snowboarding. It's probably my favorite sport. I love sitting on top of the mountain and the snow falling and that silence, that snow silence. That's, like, a very peaceful, happy place for me.	104
Roger Bannister	The reason sport is attractive to many of the general public is that it's filled with reversals. What you think may happen doesn't happen. A champion is beaten, an unknown becomes a champion.	104
Sue Wicks	I was very pleased that the positive things about me and my game outshone the aggressive style of play I use. I would never tone that down, because I believe in that style of play, and I believe that you can play rough on the court and still be a good sport.	104
Tom Watson	No other game combines the wonder of nature with the discipline of sport in such carefully planned ways. A great golf course both frees and challenges a golfer's mind.	104
Wendell Pierce	The NFL is such a large, multibillion dollar enterprise with fan loyalty because they have provided not only entertainment for sports fans, but memories, good memories, family memories to these fans, that can only bring about good will.	104
Wladimir Klitschko	Mental strength is really important because you either win or lose in your mind. And I'm not solely talking about sporting matches, boxing events - anything you do, you do it first with your mental strength. And you can actually train and develop it, and I am responsible for what I'm saying because I have experience with that.	104
Charles Comiskey	Baseball is the greatest sport in the world. It is the cleanest, besides affording more people the right kind of amusement than any other. I do not say that because I have made my living at it. I say it from the heart.	104
Kelly Slater	There are so many different elements to surfing. Small waves, big waves, long boards, short boards. This makes it a sport you can share with people. It's not just a solitary thing - it's become a family thing, too. It's about exercising and passing something on from father to son, and from mother to daughter.	104
Lindsay Davenport	You always see people coming back to the sport, and I've always thought, 'Gosh, when you're done playing, wouldn't you just want to stay at home?'	104
Peggy Fleming	My sport taught me what I could do with my talents, whether in the rink or in the rest of my life.	104
Reggie Jackson	Fans don't boo nobodies.	104
Armstrong Williams	Sports nurtures dreams of achieving self confidence and masculine striving for the skinny kid watching a boxer dance around the ring with sublime ease.	104
Caity Lotz	As a kid, I was always a tomboy, playing sport and doing martial arts. And I'm pretty opinionated - I've never been told that I'm a weak person.	104
Drew Bledsoe	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.	104
John Zorn	It's a blast to watch. It's a lot more interesting live than it is on record. I mean, it really is a theatrical event. It's a sporting event! Cause you never know what's gonna happen.	104
Peter Ueberroth	Baseball is a public trust. Players turn over, owners turn over and certain commissioners turn over. But baseball goes on.	104
Richard Attias	Sport is a great equalizer that can build bridges, transcend borders and cultures, and render even the fiercest conflicts temporarily irrelevant.	104
Samantha Stosur	It is never too late to get into tennis! While I started playing at the age of 8 when my parents gave me a tennis racquet for Christmas, tennis is a lifelong sport that can be enjoyed by people of almost any age. It's also something you never forget once you learn.	104
Tom Welling	If I was invincible, maybe I would take up some extreme sports.	104
Ben Roethlisberger	I don't ride a sport bike. If I'm riding a sport bike and trying to do tricks, and going 200 miles down the highway, that's probably pretty stupid. But when you're riding a Harley or a chopper, and you're riding with a group of people and you're not on the highway and you're cruising, you're relaxing.	104
Douglas William Jerrold	The only athletic sport I ever mastered was backgammon.	104
Jane Grey	All their sport in the park is but a shadow to that pleasure that I find in Plato; alas good folk, they never felt what true pleasure meant.	104
Jenson Button	I think fans of the sport have a good understanding now of how fit Formula One drivers need to be.	104
Jo Nesbo	In most sports, your brain and your body will cooperate... But in rock climbing, it is the other way around. Your brain doesn't see the point in climbing upwards. Your brain will tell you to keep as low as possible, to cling to the wall and not get any higher. You have to have your brain persuading your body to do the right movements.	104
Maurice Greene	In America, we have three major sports - baseball, football and basketball. They get the most coverage. Then there's things like golf which mop up most of what is left. But track and field? We are way at the bottom of the totem pole.	104
Rob Machado	To catch a wave, to stand up - it was just life-changing. There was nothing that even came close. I quit playing all other sports - by the time I was eleven, they were toast.	104
Junior Seau	I wanted to perform well for my mom and dad, because in high school, I didn't have a job. My brothers, they worked at Pizza Hut or places like that, but sports, that was my way of giving back.	104
Al McGuire	I don't know why people question the academic training of an athlete. Fifty percent of the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their classes.	104
Althea Gibson	In sports, you simply aren't considered a real champion until you have defended your title successfully. Winning it once can be a fluke; winning it twice proves you are the best.	104
David Charvet	For me, sports is a big part of my life. It helped me through high school. It helped me get better grades, because if you don't have good grades, you can't play sports.	104
Jeremy London	I love extreme sports, I like snowboarding and motorcross and rollerblading and hockey.	104
Avery Brundage	Sport is an international phenomenon, like science or music.	104
Jennifer Beals	Oh, this absolute loneliness and the game - loving to play the game, loving to go and tell stories to men that certainly weren't true, just for the sport of it, just to see how they would react.	104
Jerry Lawler	We've finally told the world that this is sports entertainment, and I think one of the best forms of entertainment is anything that's fun or funny, something that you really enjoy watching or listening to.	104
Joe Garagiola	I went through baseball as 'a player to be named later.'	104
Jeev Milkha Singh	I have been requesting the government because it is the government which has to allocate the land to build public courses. I am willing to meet the minister and discuss ways to make courses public and more accessible to the regular sports enthusiasts.	104
Juan Antonio Samaranch	Our philosophy precedes from the belief that sport is an inalienable part of the educational process and a factor for promoting peace, friendship, cooperation and understanding among peoples.	104
Blaise Pascal	Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness... and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse him.	105
Michael Jordan	The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It's been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game.	105
Rodney Dangerfield	I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.	105
Vince Lombardi	Winners never quit and quitters never win.	105
Demetri Martin	I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I am good at everything.	105
Ai Weiwei	The Olympic Games are highly commercialised. They purport to follow the traditions of an ancient athletics competition, but today it is the commercial aspect that is most apparent. I have seen how, through sport, cities and corporations compete against each other for financial gain.	105
Caitlyn Jenner	If I wasn't dyslexic, I probably wouldn't have won the Games. If I had been a better reader, then that would have come easily, sports would have come easily... and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.	105
Dr. Dre	I always loved the way music made me feel. I did sports at school and all, but when I got home, it was just music. Everybody in my neighborhood loved music. I could jump the back fence and be in the park where there were ghetto blasters everywhere.	105
Fran Drescher	If I go to a concert or sporting event I usually go in a VIP entrance. And leave the same way.	105
Frank Bruno	Boxing is the toughest and loneliest sport in the world.	105
Gerald R. Ford	I know I am getting better at golf because I am hitting fewer spectators.	105
Greg LeMond	You don't suffer, kill yourself and take the risks I take just for money. I love bike racing.	105
Irwin Shaw	Writing is like a contact sport, like football. You can get hurt, but you enjoy it.	105
Jerry Rice	You know, I never looked down the road and said, 'Hey look, one day, the Hall of Fame.' It's always about playing each and every game 100 percent and I thank my teammates for getting me into the Hall because football is a team sport, not an individual sport.	105
Kapil Dev	Apart from education, you need good health, and for that, you need to play sports.	105
Mia Hamm	I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match.	105
Michael Johnson	Rivalries don't necessarily mean races being close at major championships. I had a rivalry with Butch Reynolds for many years. I won all the races, but Butch was the world record holder before I came into the sport, he was extremely talented and he was the only other man running 43 seconds.	105
Mike Krzyzewski	To me, teamwork is the beauty of our sport, where you have five acting as one. You become selfless.	105
Olivia Munn	A geek isn't the skinny kid with a pocket protector and acne. There can be computer geeks, video game geeks, car geeks, military geeks, and sports geeks. Being a geek just means that you're passionate about something.	105
Paul Walker	My motto is, you have to get in a sport a day.	105
Roger Staubach	In any team sport, the best teams have consistency and chemistry.	105
Tim McGraw	But I was so wrapped up in sports growing up as a kid, that I think I was going to grow to be a pro ball player. But I found out real quick that was not going to happen.	105
Willie Mays	I was very fortunate to play sports. All the anger in me went out. I had to do what I had to do. If you stay angry all the time, then you really don't have a good life.	105
Zlatan Ibrahimovic	At Barca, players were banned from driving their sports cars to training.	105
Ashton Eaton	I want to see where I measure up against everyone in the world and everyone who has ever competed in the sport, and there's that innate sense of wanting to challenge myself. I'm competitive in all aspects.	105
Ben Barnes	I was heavily into sport from 10 to 15, I was in all the teams, and it was everything to me. But I was very young for my school year and when puberty kicked in for my classmates I got left behind.	105
Donovan Bailey	A team sport is not very good for me, because I can't take losing.	105
Elisabeth Shue	As the only girl growing up among three brothers, I was always afraid of being excluded. If there was a game to be played, a sport to be learned, a competition to join, I was on my feet and ready. I didn't spend much time alone for fear that I'd miss out.	105
Evan Bayh	Baseball may be our national pastime, but the age-old tradition of taking a swing at Congress is a sport with even deeper historical roots in the American experience. Since the founding of our country, citizens from Ben Franklin to David Letterman have made fun of their elected officials.	105
Greg Louganis	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.	105
Hank Stram	You cannot win if you cannot run.	105
Harsha Bhogle	Sports and management are not as diverse as people think.	105
James Taylor	I have a love-hate relationship with the Grammys because I don't see the music world as a competitive sport.	105
Kirsty Gallacher	Sailing is a completely new sport for me and I wasn't sure what to expect but I've definitely got the bug.	105
Lou Ferrigno	Pumping iron is not what it used to be. It doesn't have the personality it used to. When we started out, people who worked out had nothing. Now there is so much money involved; back then it was the love of the sport. We appreciated what we have. Today it's not the same.	105
Luke Scott	In the Bible it says God has made everything good for man to eat and to wear their skins. Whenever we eat beef, we eat chicken, we have to kill to eat. But at the same time, hunting is a sport. I think it is a great sport... I would say most hunters are Christian men.	105
Sebastian Coe	Sport was an integral part of school life. The most influential teachers were not necessarily the PE teachers, but the teachers who helped me in sport because they had an understanding of what you were going through.	105
Andrew Bogut	These days, to be seven years in one spot in any pro sport is a pretty long tenure.	105
Arjun Rampal	I think it is easier for thinner people to build on a frame once you get lean muscle. I get bored lifting weights at the gym, and it isn't enough as your body becomes stiff. So I train in different ways such as core training, cardio with weights, playing sports such as tennis, cycling, swimming and running 10 km once a week.	105
Doug Collins	Any time Detroit scores more than 100 points and holds the other team below 100 points they almost always win.	105
Edwin Moses	I was always a mean and lean athlete - not tall - not large.	105
Elle Macpherson	For a while I was on the cover of every Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which was regarded as the pinnacle of success in America.	105
Gagan Narang	Sport is an important part of the development of kids, and hence, it should be made a part of their curriculum.	105
Harry Vardon	Don't play too much golf. Two rounds a day are plenty.	105
Marisa Miller	I think my appeal is that I've always tried to stay very grounded to my fans and to be accessible - not being this unattainable thing. I think doing sports and riding motorcycles has made me more approachable and more real and down to earth.	105
Patrick Chan	I love figure skating and what I am able to express creatively. I want to leave a legacy in the sport.	105
Sam Snead	If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death.	105
Sergei Bubka	I think that, generally, you need to live with your sport 24 hours a day.	105
Tipper Gore	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.	105
Celia Imrie	I was never a pretty girl, so I wasn't the one to get the boy. I used to cast myself as a good sport. Sometimes I wonder if I do that too much with roles I play, because if I'm absolutely truthful, I quite like being the best friend, or the supporting role, and actually I ought to gear-change and make myself the leading role.	105
Curtis Joseph	Growing up, sports was my outlet, my way to portray a personality. I was very shy around people but, through sports, something I was good at, I was able to make friends.	105
David Millar	There will always be cheaters. It is human nature. It will never be 100 percent clean, in any sport.	105
Emanuel Steward	I began these clinics because I want to share my years of experience in around the ring, in addition to my proven winning methods. I have seen the good and the bad. I have learned valuable lessons, which I want to pass along to those truly interested in the sport.	105
Gary McCord	He hits the ball a long way and he knows how to win.	105
Graham Taylor	In football, time and space are the same thing.	105
Joe Manchin	I don't know anyone in the hunting or sporting arena that goes out with an assault rifle.	105
Michael Mandelbaum	The cardinal sin in sports, what could really wreck it, is not cheating to win, which has gone on forever, but cheating to lose. That threatens a fundamental aspect of sports' appeal, which is their spontaneity. If games are fixed, they're no different from movies; they're scripted.	105
Mo Rocca	I wish I had played team sports. I think every kid should. Teamwork builds character - teaches people about leadership and cooperation.	105
Red Auerbach	Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up.	105
Richard Attias	Sporting achievements bestow a sense of unification on the cultures and societies in which they take place and create an outpouring of nationalism and pride.	105
Alexander Ludwig	My heart lies in music and acting, however, my inspiration comes from adrenaline rush I get from sports... and life.	105
Rebecca Lobo	There's nothing masculine about being competitive. There's nothing masculine about trying to be the best at everything you do, nor is there anything wrong with it. I don't know why a female athlete has to defend her femininity just because she chooses to play sports.	105
Althea Gibson	In the field of sports you are more or less accepted for what you do rather than what you are.	105
Meryl Davis	If someone were to actually come to one of our training sessions, there's lots of flipping and sweating and crying and blood going on all over the place. I mean, if that doesn't qualify it as a sport, then I don't know what does.	105
Robert Wilson Lynd	It is almost impossible to remember how tragic a place the world is when one is playing golf.	105
Steve Fossett	I pick projects according to how fascinating they are to me, and it has resulted in a broad reach. My records are actually in five different sports: balloons, airplanes, airships, gliders, and sailboats.	105
Avery Brundage	The sportsman knows that a sport is a recreation, a game, an amusement and a pastime, but his eyes are fixed on a higher goal, on the most important thing in his life, which is his education or his vocation.	105
John Van Hamersveld	My life in Hollywood surrounded by celebrities became a point of view for me - sports, fashion, music, film, arts, and politics as a media play.	105
Jon Hamm	For a kid who's lost his mom and all the rage and grief that no one was able to talk out of me, football was a very therapeutic sport. Very.	105
Jerry West	To be candid with you, free agency hurts all sports. It's great for athletes making an enormous amount of money. But to say it helps the sports, I don't believe that.	105
Michael Jordan	Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.	106
William Arthur Ward	Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.	106
Babe Ruth	Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.	106
Beth Brooke	I find it fascinating that sport has such a strong connection to success in business. Arguably, C-suite women are some of the most successful women, and more than half of them played at a more advanced level than just the general population of women in business that had sport in their background.	106
Chris Hardwick	Bowling is all physics and energy distribution. It's F = ma. So it is actually one of the most science-y sports, because it literally is just a ball and a surface and objects to knock down.	106
Chuck D	I grew up as a sports fan, and I know that a hall of fame is very different than an award for being the best of the year. It's a nod to the longevity of our accomplishment.	106
Dean Kamen	Sporting competitions seem to be what we obsess over, frankly. So if we can put engineering, science, technology into a format of healthy, fun competition, we can attract all sorts of kids that might not see the kind of activity we do as accessible or rewarding.	106
Emma Stone	You know how sports teach kids teamwork and how to be strong and brave and confident? Improv was my sport. I learned how to not waffle and how to hold a conversation, how to take risks and actually be excited to fail.	106
George Matthew Adams	Sailing a boat calls for quick action, a blending of feeling with the wind and water as well as with the very heart and soul of the boat itself. Sailing teaches alertness and courage, and gives in return a joyousness and peace that but few sports afford.	106
Harbhajan Singh	I am just enjoying what cricket has given me. In sports, it's obviously really important for all of us to remain fit - and health is wealth, so health comes with the sport.	106
Huey Lewis	After 'Sports' came out in the fall of 1983, everything changed for me. Four of the album's singles became top-10 hits, and by the end of June in 1984, the album was No. 1 on the Billboard chart. It was quite a ride, and for the first time I had enough money to live the way I wanted.	106
Kathy Ireland	I know my strengths. Painfully aware of the weaknesses. There's many. I love sports. So working towards a common goal, that's exciting to me.	106
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum	I want Dubai to be a place where everybody from all over the world meets each other, don't think of fighting or hate, just love it, enjoy their sport, and that's it.	106
Olivia Munn	The word 'geek' today does not mean what it used to mean. A geek isn't the skinny kid with a pocket protector and acne. There can be computer geeks, video game geeks, car geeks, military geeks, and sports geeks. Being a geek just means that you're passionate about something.	106
Troy Polamalu	I've never been a fan of individual awards because football is such a team sport. There's so many things that goes into making plays. It's about teammates trusting one another and working together.	106
Zach Braff	I had no interest in sports so I didn't make friends in that traditional way where kids are in public school and they go and they join clubs, and play sports. So I kind of had to find my own way to make friends and get attention and so I just was the class clown.	106
Adam Driver	I never played sports or got into the whole guy camaraderie of, like, 'I love you, man! Seniors forever!' So suddenly being in the military with these guys who were under these very heightened circumstances, isolated from their families, living this very kind of Greek lifestyle, it changed my life in a really big way.	106
Ben Hogan	Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.	106
Bill Toomey	My family knew, but most of the sporting world did not realize that my right hand been some 75% paralyzed.	106
Brian O'Driscoll	Team sports are very important for shaping personalities. It's important that kids understand the mentality behind playing team sports and playing for one another and playing with friends.	106
Donald Johanson	Commitment, belief and positive attitude are all important if you're going to be a success, whether you're in sports, in business or, as in my case, anthropology.	106
Harsha Bhogle	Sometimes, quite out of the blue, sport will throw up a tender moment, when hostility ceases and an opponent is acknowledged.	106
Ken Salazar	For some in Washington, it's become sport to pick on the federal workforce. I think they do so unjustly. The very foundation of a stable America is having a government that functions well. Many countries have dysfunctional governments, because they don't have a good government workforce.	106
Nastia Liukin	Gymnastics, especially in my family, is more than a sport. It's our life, it's our careers, it's our family business.	106
Nelly	As you become a legend in the game, you build more doubters than you build supporters. And that's fine. I think that comes with anything that's challenging. I think it even comes with sports. The older that Michael Jordan got, I think the more doubted he became.	106
Peter Guber	Social cohesion was built into language long before Facebook and LinkedIn and Twitter - we're tribal by nature. Tribes today aren't the same as tribes thousand of years ago: It isn't just religious tribes or ethnic tribes now: It's sports fans, it's communities, it's geography.	106
Dianna Agron	I was on the yearbook staff, so I would take out film cameras and Nikons and take photos around school and at sporting events and things like that. We had a darkroom as well. I just loved it. I also saved up for a video camera to video my friends and cut and paste the videos together and I gave them to all of my friends for graduation.	106
Edwin Moses	I overcame size with mechanics.	106
Joshua Foer	The sport of competitive memorizing is driven by a kind of arms race where every year somebody comes up with a new way to remember more stuff more quickly, and then the rest of the field has to play catch-up.	106
Lucy Walker	Extreme sports tricks are becoming increasingly complex, the courses ever more challenging and crashes all too common.	106
Martina Navratilova	Sport doesn't know barriers, really. You are judged on your performance... how far you can jump, how fast you can run, how well you can hit a tennis ball.	106
Patrick Chan	If you look at all the sports in China, the government is extremely involved and they are extremely proud of their athlete.	106
Alexis Arguello	Aside from a handful of guys boxing is missing the good trainers, that's why our sport is so in the air now because we don't have people who have the capability to not only train fighters but also train and create decent respectable citizens of the world.	106
Catherine Bell	I like all the adventure sports but I like to do them in a safe way.	106
Elena Delle Donne	Volleyball was a lot of fun, but I knew it wasn't my sport.	106
Grantland Rice	Eighteen holes of match play will teach you more about your foe than 18 years of dealing with him across a desk.	106
Jim Sensenbrenner	Several professional athletes have wrongly taught many young Americans by example that the only way to succeed in sports is to take steroids.	106
Joe Jonas	I remember when I was growing up, I always wore glasses and so if I was on-stage or just being able to move around playing sports, I was never really able to because I had glasses holding me back. Wearing contacts has just been very helpful.	106
Michael Nutter	Politics in Philadelphia is a contact sport.	106
Roger Kahn	I was showing early symptoms of becoming a professional baseball man. I was lying to the press.	106
Maurice Greene	My stance has always been that there's no place in our sport for drug users. I've always said it's a ban for life if you come up positive. I stand by that.	106
Rooney Mara	I am very slow to warm. I've always been sort of a loner. I didn't play team sports. I am better one-on-one than in big groups.	106
Meryl Davis	Charlie and I discovered at a really young at that we had a passion for figure skating, and I think that passion drives us to work every day to improve and grow. We have really learned to love our sport more and more, year to year. And the hard work really pays off.	106
Jackie Stewart	There is no doubt that Formula 1 has the best risk management of any sport and any industry in the world.	106
Billie Jean King	Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.	107
Bobby Knight	I think that it's perhaps harder to learn from victory than it is from defeat. I think that we don't want defeat. We don't want defeat in sport. We don't want defeat in life. How are we going to be beaten? All right. We have to deal with those things. What's going to cause us to lose the game, whatever the game might be?	107
Bobby Orr	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.	107
Charles Barkley	You know it's going to hell when the best rapper out there is white and the best golfer is black.	107
Chris Hardwick	Comedy has sort of been my life-long obsession. I literally obsessed over comedy. I really didn't play sports - for me it was just comedy, computers and chess club; those were my big things.	107
Chris Jericho	Think about it - pro wrestling as an Olympic sport would be pretty cool. Look at figure skating or gymnastics - what is it? It's a choreographed performance that is judged.	107
Evan Davis	We all know that Americans love their statistics - in sport, obviously. And in finance too.	107
Greg Norman	What's a good tournament for him? Winning it. He's good enough.	107
Haruki Murakami	I have always liked running, so it wasn't particularly difficult to make it a habit. All you need is a pair of running shoes and you can do it anywhere. It does not require anybody to do it with, and so I found the sport perfectly fits me as a person who tends to be independent and individualistic.	107
Howard Cosell	Sports is human life in microcosm.	107
Isla Fisher	You have to list all your special skills on a form when you get an agent. There's fencing, stage combat, horse riding, motorbike riding, Spanish, French, German, whatever. I just ticked everything. I talk about 10 languages according to that form. I even ticked the extreme sports box.	107
John Madden	You're not going to eliminate concussions. Anytime you hit your head, you have a chance of getting a concussion, in any sport, too. I think we have to learn more about it. Part of it is rules, part of it is equipment, part of it is medical studies, knowing more about the brain.	107
Kapil Dev	As a sportsman, my aim was to help sportspersons grow. The idea is to see what is good for sport rather than what's good for individuals.	107
Kevin Bleyer	Sports exact too harsh a toll on our beautiful women. Like engendered species, they should be protected, and instead, we exploit them and demand they fly too close to the sun for our amusement. We send them into the arena for an exhausting three-setter, an 18-hole playoff, a 200th lap. The burnout factor is insurmountable.	107
Kevin Plank	The sports apparel industry was dominated by the big shoe companies. But there was a void in apparel and I decided to fill it.	107
Mark Cuban	I love to compete. To me, business is the ultimate sport. It's always on. There is always someone trying to beat me.	107
Carrot Top	I love to shop, especially in retro stores. I have about a million pairs of old-school sports shoes like Adidas, so that's probably my biggest vice.	107
Don Yaeger	As the Olympic torch neared Lake Placid, N.Y., in 1980, signaling the opening of that year's Winter Olympics, newspapers and magazines throughout the world offered predictions on who would win medals in the major sports. Not a single publication gave the American men's hockey team a chance against the world powers.	107
Esther Williams	Three events. Three gold medals. I was news, big news, in the sports world.	107
Harsha Bhogle	Cricket, like all sport, offers glory to few and a lifetime of it to even fewer. For the investment it demands, it offers short careers that end when people in other professions are starting to flourish.	107
Jesse Owens	A lifetime of training for just ten seconds.	107
Michael Keaton	I played a lot of sports when I was a kid so I get in that ballgame mindset of being really, really respectful, but at same time saying to yourself, 'Don't back down a single inch, hang with these guys if you can.' If they throw it high and tight you have to stand in there, you can't take yourself out of that moment.	107
Rory McIlroy	I receive huge support from Irish and British sports fans alike and it is greatly appreciated. Likewise I feel I have a great affinity with the American sports fans. I play most of my golf in the U.S. nowadays and I am incredibly proud to have won the U.S. Open and U.S. PGA Championship in the last two years.	107
Sebastian Coe	Sport is a universal language, building more bridges between people than anything else I can think of.	107
Dhani Jones	What better way to get to know a culture than to go there and learn their sports? And I say to people who tell me they can't travel, 'How much did you spend at the mall this year? How many times did you eat out? Take that money and go.'	107
Dmitry Medvedev	When I get into a bad mood, I do sports and then everything's OK. And then I go and make decisions, however painful they may be.	107
Jordan Spieth	Having inched closer and accomplished some of my major goals in the sport of golf, no pun intended, why not work as hard as I can to attain those goals if I'm already feeling like I'm playing well and getting more and more comfortable.	107
Judd Nelson	I like every single actor or actress in the world, because we never know what the conditions are like when they are working. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and root for them like a psychotic sports fan.	107
Marisa Miller	I'm very down-to-earth and approachable, and I can be one of the guys and watch sports... I like to cook - I'm like the girl next door.	107
Mark Spitz	I walked away from the sport for 17 years, then started swimming again recently in a master's program.	107
Patrick Chan	Injuries are a huge thing for skating. I think skating is a very unnatural sport for the body, very tough on the joints.	107
Rickie Fowler	Obviously, signing on with Puma right when I turned pro, it's been a great fit for me to show off my colorful lifestyle as far as where I grew up and how I grew up, growing up on a public driving range and growing up around action sports my whole life. Not exactly the normal road that guys take to get to the PGA Tour.	107
Alexis Arguello	See, I respect boxing because it has given me so much and that's why I will never allow anyone to mistreat the sport of boxing if I can help it.	107
Andrew Shue	The biggest lesson from Africa was that life's joys come mostly from relationships and friendships, not from material things. I saw time and again how much fun Africans had with their families and friends and on the sports fields; they laughed all the time.	107
Boris Spassky	On the other hand, chess is a mass sport now and for chess organisers shorter time control is obviously more attractive. But I think that this control does not suit World Championship matches.	107
Jimmy Connors	New Yorkers love it when you spill your guts out there. Spill your guts at Wimbledon and they make you stop and clean it up.	107
Samantha Stosur	I love to get home and hang out with my family. My brothers and I love spending time at the beach. I enjoy doing all kinds of surf sports and keeping healthy.	107
Sasha Cohen	I'm a competitive person and I love the challenge of mastering new things.	107
Al Michaels	Monday Night Football started in 1970, and when it started, it was something extremely special because sports had not been aired in prime time. So, it was a novelty, and a lot of people thought it wouldn't work, and, of course, it worked spectacularly well.	107
Ricky Ponting	Every decision you make in life, not just on the sporting field - a lot of time and energy goes into it. You think things through before you make decisions and you always think the decision you make at the time is going to be the right one.	107
Serge Schmemann	Soccer is a great game, and the rich variety of styles and passions that come with being truly global makes the World Cup a nonpareil event in the universe of competitive sport.	107
Steve Garvey	The difference between the old ballplayer and the new ballplayer is the jersey. The old ballplayer cared about the name on the front. The new ballplayer cares about the name on the back.	107
Mary Kom	The incentive of a medal at the biggest sporting arena in the world is what drives me. Before I hang my gloves, I want to win the Olympic medal, and my performance at London will decide my future in the sport.	107
Kobe Bryant	Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they've taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.	108
Herbert Hoover	Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.	108
Wayne Gretzky	Hockey is a unique sport in the sense that you need each and every guy helping each other and pulling in the same direction to be successful.	108
Bo Jackson	If I miss anything about the sport, it's the camaraderie of old teammates.	108
Frank Bruno	I didn't play a great deal of sport in primary school. It was not until I went away to boarding school in Sussex that I really got into sport.	108
George Vecsey	Hockey suffers from being compared to itself in ways that other sports are not. Every four years, some of us fawn over Olympic hockey, a great event with bigger rinks, minimal goonishness and national pride in addition to the heightened skills of veritable all-star squads.	108
Ginger Rogers	I enjoy sports, and love being involved in any outdoor sport from volleyball to softball. I'm not being immodest when I say I'm a natural athlete.	108
Kevin James	I had my boy in Boston on Easter Sunday. That kills me, from a sports perspective. He's a Boston baby and I'm a New York guy.	108
Knute Rockne	One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than a hundred teaching it.	108
Kurt Russell	For guys playing sports at a high level, for money, I can't put my finger on it, but in a man's world of sport, there is something visceral to beating another man.	108
Michael Johnson	The mind is absolutely instrumental in achieving results, even for athletes. Sports psychology is a very small part, but it's extremely important when you're winning and losing races by hundredths and even thousandths of a second.	108
Neil Simon	Sports is the only entertainment where, no matter how many times you go back, you never know the ending.	108
Norm MacDonald	Compared to politics, I think sports is funnier, because it's inconsequential. And politics can be real important and all that. The more pointless something is, the funnier it is, you know? And the more grave or important things are... You know, some comedians can get this disease where they get serious all the time.	108
Paul Harvey	Golf is a game in which you yell 'fore,' shoot six, and write down five.	108
Paul Watson	Killing a baby seal is about the easiest thing you can do if you're inclined to be sadistic; you certainly can't say there's any sport in it - the animal is totally defenceless.	108
Pierre de Coubertin	Sport is the habitual and voluntary cultivation of intensive physical effort.	108
Rafael Nadal	I just was in the second round. That's painful, because always is tough to lose, but well, that's sport. You win, you lose.	108
Thorstein Veblen	The addiction to sports, therefore, in a peculiar degree marks an arrested development in man's moral nature.	108
Tom Landry	Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable.	108
Tony McCoy	Essentially, I am a dreamer. I've dreamed all my life. When I started, I dreamed I'd be Champion because it is a sport that is all about the people who win the most, and I have a fear of not winning.	108
Ty Cobb	Every great batter works on the theory that the pitcher is more afraid of him than he is of the pitcher.	108
Yani Tseng	I love various sports, including basketball, tennis and billiards.	108
Cheryl Cole	If I could be good at any sport, it'd be javelin. I know a few people I would love to throw a spear at.	108
Dan Jenkins	The key to any good sports story is identifying the defining moment. In football games or a boxing match, it's usually pretty obvious. But in golf, sometimes it happens on Thursday. Usually it's Sunday, but guys who don't know the game, they can miss it.	108
Evander Holyfield	That's the biggest problem with boxing in the United States. They do not promote it like they used to, when it used to be Howard Cosell and they showed it on 'Wide World of Sports.' Everybody knew all the fighters. Everybody was looking forward to the year when the Olympics came on.	108
Gabrielle Union	I played sports year around: basketball, soccer, softball and I ran track year around, from the time I was, like, six, seven.	108
Harry Caray	You know they're not going to lose 162 consecutive games.	108
Mark Zupan	People aren't familiar with wheelchair sports. The only film crew in Athens for the Paralympics was the documentary crew.	108
Martin Jacques	If the Age of Sport has been all champagne and roses hitherto, then expect our love affair with its newly-acquired prominence to become increasingly tainted by scandals about cheating. Sport is losing its shine and allure.	108
Jane Smiley	All equestrians, if they last long enough, learn that riding in whatever form is a lifelong sport and art, an endeavor that is both familiar and new every time you take the horse out of his stall or pasture.	108
John Travolta	Sports, entertainment and aviation are three of the most exciting professions in the world; you are dealing with the same magnitude.	108
Patrick Chan	I tried all kinds of sports when I was a kid, like soccer and tennis and golf, and, in fact, started skating to be able to play hockey.	108
Saina Nehwal	Both my parents were amateur badminton players. My father is a scientist and wanted me to be a doctor. But my mom was very aggressive and loved badminton. She pushed me right from the age of nine to take up the sport.	108
Steve Chabot	Politics is a contact sport.	108
Bill Veeck	Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off.	108
Elena Delle Donne	I'd rather be a face for happiness and doing things that you have a passion for, rather than faking it and pretending like I'm this face of women's basketball, when I can't stand the sport at all.	108
Joan Cusack	Can they do both? That's a huge balance, I think, with kids- trying to find the right- it's everything, you know, it's social life, it's academics, it's sports.	108
Richard M. Daley	The spirit of the Olympic movement is great for young people because it teaches them about the training and discipline required to compete. Even if they don't make the teams, they can rededicate their lives to the art of sport, discipline, and physical fitness.	108
Dirk Nowitzki	I played all kinds of sports when I was young: tennis, handball, basketball, some soccer. I focused on basketball when I was 16 or 17 and then came to the U.S. when I was 20.	108
Jenson Button	A lot of people think Formula One isn't a sport because everyone drives a car when they go to work in the morning. But we're pulling up to six G on a corner or during breaking, which is almost like being a fighter pilot. So we have to do a lot of work on our neck muscles.	108
Hunter S. Thompson	When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.	109
Billie Jean King	When they take surveys of women in business, of the Fortune 500, the successful women, 80% of them, say they were in sports as a young woman.	109
Chris Hardwick	While the liberal media elite depict the bowler as a chubby guy with a comb-over and polyester pants, the reality is that bowling is one of the most tech-heavy sports today. Robotic pinsetters and computerized scoring were just the beginning.	109
Curt Schilling	Baseball is not a sport you can achieve individually.	109
Dan Rather	Now, I know you expected me to say that, well, I just kick back in the rocking chair, fished a little bit, listened to Willie Nelson tapes and watched old baseball games on the Classic Sports network. And, tell you the truth, I have done that for maybe about five total minutes.	109
Dennis Rodman	There is so much hypocrisy in sports.	109
Earl Warren	I always turn to the sports pages first, which records people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures.	109
George Foreman	The sport needs a personality, not a fighter. We've got plenty of great fighters in the sport, but no personalities. No one is standing for anything. The last personality we had was Mike Tyson. He stood for something. It wasn't much, but he stood for something.	109
Gordon Bethune	The airline business is the biggest team sport in the world. When you're all consumed with fighting among yourselves, your opponents can run over you every day.	109
Greg LeMond	It is cycling as a professional sport that represents the problem. It can transform someone into a liar.	109
Jackie Robinson	Life is not a spectator sport. If you're going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you're wasting your life.	109
Jean-Claude Van Damme	You need at least six or seven years to understand the philosophy and concentration of karate to know to clean your spirit of everything and dedicate your mind and body to the sport.	109
Kamala Harris	I always start my campaigns early, and I run hard. Maybe it comes from the rough-and-tumble world of San Francisco politics, where it's not even a contact sport - it's a blood sport. This is how I am as a candidate. This is how I run campaigns.	109
Lena Headey	I took up boxing as a fitness thing. I got obsessed, and I would go every day when I wasn't working. It's just an insane sport when you get into it.	109
Nadia Comaneci	As an Olympic champion gymnast, I have always stayed involved in my sport.	109
Peyton Manning	I've been a Colt for almost all of my adult life, but I guess in life, and in sports, we all know nothing lasts forever. Times change, circumstances change, and that's the reality of playing in the NFL.	109
Pierre de Coubertin	For each individual, sport is a possible source for inner improvement.	109
Tony Hawk	I feel like skateboarding is as much of a sport as a lifestyle, and an art form, so there's so much that that transcends in terms of music, fashion, and entertainment.	109
Tyler Cowen	Sports is remarkably cognitive. I think it's underrated just how smart it is. Actually, if I had more time, I would spend more time with sports. Watching it, reading about it, I think it's oddly underrated.	109
Abhishek Bachchan	I am a sports enthusiast, and if given an opportunity, I want to be a sportsman, even today. I want to promote the sport that is indigenous to India. Kabaddi is a matter of national pride. Why can't cricket, hockey, football and kabaddi be given equal platforms and co-exist? I believe that can happen.	109
Dan Jenkins	Sally Jenkins of the 'Washington Post' is the best sports columnist in the country. Second best is Gene Wojciechowski of ESPN.com, and third is Dan Wetzel on Yahoo!	109
James McAvoy	I like playing sport, and I like doing physical stuff. I like hiking and I like climbing and I like playing sport. I do a lot. But I don't like the term 'exercising.' I feel like with sport, you're playing games. But with exercise, you're literally just trying to stop yourself from dying too young. It's weird.	109
Jeremy Lin	Faith, family, academics and then sports was the order of priorities in my family. My parents really stuck to these principles when raising me and my two brothers. As long as we took care of everything, they let us play as much basketball as we wanted.	109
Rory McIlroy	As an international sportsman, I am very lucky to be supported by people all over the world, many of who treat me as one of their own, no matter what their nationality, or indeed mine. This is the way sport should be.	109
Bonnie Bassler	I was a huge athlete as a kid. I was on every sports team.	109
Louise Slaughter	We all know that girls who compete in sports perform better in school, are physically healthier and have a stronger self-esteem.	109
Rahul Dravid	What drew me towards team sport were the camaraderie and friendship. The chance to celebrate victory and success with a group of other people is something I have enjoyed doing.	109
Suresh Raina	I've always wanted to buy a sports car. After the England series, I went up to my dad and said that I wanted to buy a sports car and got his consent. On his birthday, I surprised him by bringing it home. It's a Porsche Boxter Limited Edition, and my family was thrilled to see it.	109
Richard Attias	Sport is one of the few spaces where people can learn about different cultures in a spirit of trust and friendship.	109
Jeff Greenfield	I grew up in New York City, where we played highly unorganized sports: stick ball, stoop ball, and the occasional game of baseball with no adult supervision.	109
Maurice Greene	You'd like more people to recognise what you do is special. But I take the attitude that the best thing I can do for my sport is to be the best at it. The best way people will come to recognise that track and field is a great sport is to see athletes excelling at it.	109
Branch Rickey	Ethnic prejudice has no place in sports, and baseball must recognize that truth if it is to maintain stature as a national game.	110
Casey Stengel	The team has come along slow but fast.	110
Common	It's our responsibility for the village to say, 'Hey we're going to create these programs,' whether it's sports, creative arts, music, we need some things to give young people positive things to do, and that's including jobs.	110
Dale Earnhardt	You win some, lose some, and wreck some.	110
Ernie Harwell	Baseball just a came as simple as a ball and bat. Yet, as complex as the American spirit it symbolizes. A sport, a business and sometimes almost even a religion.	110
Fran Drescher	Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it.	110
Gabriel Iglesias	I learned early on, stay away from politics, stay away from religion and don't talk about sports. Those three right there will get you in trouble.	110
Geoffrey Canada	Video games offer violent messages, and even the sports video games include taunting and teasing.	110
Greg LeMond	I want to tell the world of cycling to please join me in telling Pat McQuaid to resign. I have never seen such an abuse of power in cycling's history - resign, Pat, if you love cycling. Resign even if you hate the sport.	110
Hank Aaron	The triple is the most exciting play in baseball. Home runs win a lot of games, but I never understood why fans are so obsessed with them.	110
John Cena	People can say whatever they want about the sport of bodybuilding, but to get prepared to do a contest or even think about doing a contest, or even to get into decent shape, it requires a certain amount of discipline, and it comes from taking a new year's resolution to a lifestyle.	110
John Updike	Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child. Just how childlike golf players become is proven by their frequent inability to count past five.	110
Kurt Angle	Pro wrestling is not fake; it's sports entertainment. We go out there and we perform, and a lot of what we do out there is real, but we're not going to insult anyone's intelligence - there is a predetermined winner. It's just the fans don't know who it is, and that's what makes it so intriguing.	110
Manny Pacquiao	Boxing is a sport. We allow each other to hit each other, but I'm not treating my opponent like my enemy. We're doing a job to entertain people.	110
Mark Cuban	If you think back to the first sporting event you went to, you don't remember the score, you don't remember a home run, you don't remember a dunk. You remember who you were with. Were you with your mom, your dad, your brother, on a date?	110
Phil Knight	Sports is like rock 'n' roll. Both are dominant cultural forces, both speak an international language, and both are all about emotions.	110
Rafael Nadal	I admire a lot of people, but in terms of sport I've always loved the mentality of Tiger Woods on a golf course. I always love his eyes when he's setting himself and focusing on his decision; he has a really strong, focused face and believes that he can make the shot.	110
Vicente del Bosque	Sometimes people say that coach is a winner, but everyone wants to win. You must know how to behave in victory and in defeat, to look after what is our sport, football.	110
Vilayanur S. Ramachandran	I was socially isolated as a kid. I had friends, but I wasn't very good at sports and that sort of thing so I became quite comfortable being by myself, exploring. The world was my private playground, and in it, I was supreme. Darwin, Faraday, Huxley and other great scientists were my companions.	110
Viswanathan Anand	Chess as a sport requires a lot of mental stamina, and this is what that makes it different from a physical sport. Chess players have a unique ability of taking in a lot of information and remembering relevant bits. So, memory and mental stamina are the key attributes.	110
Alex Gibney	When I was a kid, I played sports a lot. My mom and dad were divorced, but I hung out in the neighborhood a lot, and it was all about sports. I would be out all day on the sand lot or on the hockey rink. My dad would take me to baseball games, but he worked so hard, and he would always fall asleep.	110
Ben Hogan	Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?	110
Katarina Witt	Money was never the motivation. It never should be in sports.	110
Lee Haney	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.	110
Wilt Chamberlain	Nobody roots for Goliath.	110
Wladimir Klitschko	I've fought everybody without ducking anyone. I have beaten 10 undefeated guys, and I never was comparing myself to the greatest in the sport. I was not thinking of breaking any records. I'm just enjoying my time in boxing.	110
Martina Navratilova	The tennis ball doesn't know how old I am. The ball doesn't know if I'm a man or a woman or if I come from a communist country or not. Sport has always broken down these barriers.	110
Steve Sabol	When we started in the early '60s, football had a little bit of a tradition. But, they didn't have a mythology. And NFL Films, through our music and our scripts and our photography, created a mythology for the sport.	110
Suresh Raina	I used to practice at the hockey ground on synthetic surface while I was in the sports hostel, so Test cricket is certainly going to be a challenge for me.	110
Tavi Gevinson	Oh God, I'm awful at sports. In gym I just try and avoid getting hit in the face.	110
Alexis Arguello	When money comes into play then that's all it's about wanting money, who's making the most who can get the most, me, me me... and in the end it screws up the person and the sport.	110
Richard Attias	Sport is and should remain a great school of life that supports young people in their personal development. It teaches respect for others and also for oneself.	110
Bailey Chase	I had grand visions of being in professional sports. But when reality set in, I went, 'Oh, OK. I'll just move to Hollywood and be an actor.' I didn't want to look back on my life and wonder, 'What if I had done this? Or I had done that?'	110
Alan King	My favorite way to spend Saturday is in and out of bed, watching sports on TV and eating.	111
Bill Bradley	Sports is a metaphor for overcoming obstacles and achieving against great odds. Athletes, in times of difficulty, can be important role models.	111
Chris Jericho	There's no unemployment insurance if you don't have a job in wrestling. You really have to be committed, to have a love and a passion for the sport, a belief in yourself that you can do it.	111
Curt Schilling	There's not a long track record of people leaving professional sports to become a software developer.	111
Dwyane Wade	I wanted to be a football player. Football is a sport that I love, but the more I started playing basketball, the more I started dreaming of playing in the NBA.	111
Felix Dennis	Good ideas are like Nike sports shoes. They may facilitate success for an athlete who possesses them, but on their own they are nothing but an overpriced pair of sneakers. Sports shoes don't win races. Athletes do.	111
Kaley Cuoco	It's a fine line of doing what's good for your life and what your parents want you to do, but also following your dreams. With my parents, when I was younger, I always had to do two things. If I was acting, I always had to do a sport or something on the arts side of things along with that.	111
Mitt Romney	Some of the companies we helped start are names you know. An office supply company called Staples - where I'm pleased to see the Obama campaign has been shopping; The Sports Authority, which became a favorite of my sons. We started an early childhood learning center called Bright Horizons that First Lady Michelle Obama rightly praised.	111
Phil Jackson	If you meet the Buddha in the lane, feed him the ball.	111
Rafael Nadal	I've stayed calm when I'm winning and I've stayed calm when I've lost. Tennis is a sport where we have a lot of tournaments every week, so you can't celebrate a lot when you have big victories, and you cannot get too down when you're losing, as in a few days you'll be in the next tournament and you'll have to be ready with that.	111
Salma Hayek	And I highly recommend for all the women in the world, even if they're 71, you can never take for granted that he loves you. It's always good to flirt with him. It's a great sport.	111
Xi Jinping	I like sports, and swimming is my favorite. Doing physical exercises keeps one fit and healthy and helps one work more efficiently. I think we all need to strike a balance between work and relaxation. This can keep us energetic and help us do our job better.	111
Bob Feller	Baseball is only a game, a game of inches and a lot of luck. During a time of all-out war, sports are very insignificant.	111
Joe Namath	I was focused on athletics, outdoors, sports.	111
Joyce Carol Oates	Boxing is a celebration of the lost religion of masculinity all the more trenchant for its being lost.	111
Randeep Hooda	Contrary to the royal and uptight image of polo, I want to bring it to a younger generation. This is a great sport that can have a larger audience and appeal to more people. Sportsmanship is lacking in many other sports that I don't want to name.	111
Seann William Scott	I was a total athlete. I loved sports, but when I realized I wasn't going to be a professional athlete, I realized I wanted to be in movies.	111
Sebastian Coe	I do genuinely believe that young people who play sport at a competitive level, sensibly controlled, sensibly organised, that has to be a good thing. It will teach them to win, it will teach them to lose with dignity and magnanimity - all the things you want. It's a pretty good metaphor for life.	111
Wladimir Klitschko	I have a Ph.D. in philosophy and sports science. At 14, I went through this really tough Soviet training system. A lot of my roommates got psychologically broken or physically injured. Either you came through, or you were out. I made my Ph.D. work in the field of young athletes aged 14-19 because at this age any human is changing.	111
Jesse Eisenberg	I don't follow sports that much now, but I was a Phoenix Suns fanatic in the early '90s.	111
Andrew Shue	Winning isn't everything, but playing and competing and striving and going through things can be a lot of fun and really important. As long as you're doing it in a way that's healthy, sports can be an incredible opportunity.	111
Brandi Chastain	I have a 16 year-old son, so I'm now a soccer mom. I stand on the sidelines and I hear the things parents are saying, so I want them to understand what it is their kids are feeling in any sports environment.	111
Henry David Thoreau	Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.	112
Louis C. K.	Breaking records is not something you expect to be doing. That's like a sports thing, it's not usually a comedy and writing thing.	112
Billie Jean King	There is no life for girls in team sports past Little League. I got into tennis when I realized this, and because I thought golf would be too slow for me, and I was too scared to swim.	112
Emma Stone	Comedy was my sport. It taught me how to roll with the punches. Failure is the exact same as success when it comes to comedy because it just keeps coming. It never stops.	112
Hugo Black	When I was 40, my doctor advised me that a man in his 40s shouldn't play tennis. I heeded his advice carefully and could hardly wait until I reached 50 to start again.	112
Jimmy Johnson	I think as far as any kind of pressure on a football team or on an individual in professional sports really depends not only on that individual but the leadership they have on the team and the leadership they have on the coaching staff. A lot of times, they can divert some of those pressures off of the individual and off of the team.	112
Kellan Lutz	I'm really into extreme sports and just having fun.	112
Vin Scully	It's a wonderful feeling to be a bridge to the past and to unite generations. The sport of baseball does that, and I am just a part of it.	112
Zakk Wylde	I'm excited to join my brother-in-law Ken Thomson every Tuesday night on SiriusXM to recap all of the awesome NFL action, and to find out what in the Wylde world of sports is going on.	112
Bruce Dickinson	I think the best way to find out about something is to try to do it to the max. A lot of people take up a hobby or sport and then find an excuse not to carry on with it. Once I start something, I won't stop until I'm as good at it as I'll ever be.	112
Elizabeth Banks	My father is a huge horse racing fan, so I was introduced to the sport long before 'Seabiscuit.' But the role made me an even bigger fan. Horse racing is one of my favorite sports.	112
Harsha Bhogle	In sports teams, apart from talk of sporting prowess and the imparting of inspirational thought, an extraordinary amount of time is spent discussing, and flaunting, material possessions.	112
Landon Donovan	I've never met anybody who says they don't like the World Cup. If you're a soccer fan or not, everybody loves watching it, and I think it could be the same for other sports.	112
Mark Zupan	I played college soccer before I was hurt, and just to be able to jump back into something that you could be so competitive at or you can achieve, to get to the Paralympics, that's the first really big achievement that you can have. It's the second biggest sporting event in the world. To be a part of it and to get a medal for that, it's unreal.	112
Randy Moss	I'm from West Virginia. If you didn't know what was happening in NASCAR, you were on the outside. NASCAR is a big league sport, but it's still also country and redneck.	112
Rick Perlstein	I'm reverent toward my sources. History is a team sport, and references are how you support your teammates.	112
Sebastian Coe	I know many people who are actually queasy about the idea that their kids may harbour sporting ambitions.	112
Timothy Ferriss	I was an All-American in wrestling in high school, was National Champion in Chinese kickboxing in 1999 and have spent a lot of time around professional athletes, which includes my eight-plus years as CEO of a sports nutrition company.	112
Bode Miller	I've been exploring different options for when I'm done skiing. I have the Turtle Ridge Foundation, which is helping a bunch of worthy causes around the Northeast. I've also started SkiSpace, which is an online social network that basically deals with all things based around any snow sport.	112
John Krasinski	The first acting thing I ever did was my senior year I decided not to play a sport in the Spring and, in that Spring B.J. Novak who went to school with me, asked if I'd be in this show that was a parody of all the teachers in the school, 'sure!' That was the first acting thing I did.	112
Shane Warne	We've just got to be careful - with all sports, let alone cricket - I think there's so much emphasis on doing the right thing all the time, but I think the public want to be entertained when they come to watch sport.	112
Billy Graham	The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.	113
Eric Liu	Jeremy Lin is the only Asian American in the NBA today and one of the few in any professional U.S. sport. His arrival is surely leading other talented Asian American athletes this week to contemplate a pro career.	113
Erin Gruwell	Some teachers feel that if they ask for emotional help, they're a failure. But teaching is a team sport.	113
Gerald R. Ford	I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.	113
Jack Kevorkian	The American people are sheep. They're comfortable, rich, working. It's like the Romans, they're happy with bread and their spectator sports. The Super Bowl means more to them than any right.	113
Nolan Ryan	Baseball life is a tough life on the family.	113
Norm MacDonald	I like the order and simplicity of sports. They have an ending. You can argue with your friends about it, but in the end, you still like sports. I almost love the fantasy world of sports more than the real world.	113
Oscar Pistorius	I don't want to be competing in a sport where I feel that I'm here not on my talent and my hard work but because of a piece of equipment.	113
Paul Allen	Traditionally, Seattle has been a great sports town and great football town. What the Huskies have achieved over the years has been pretty amazing. That's how I got my first taste of football - when I went with my father to Husky Stadium.	113
Paul Robeson	Through the years I have received my share of recognition for efforts in the fields of sports, the arts, the struggle for full citizenship for the Negro people, labor's rights and the fight for peace.	113
Pete Rose	It's a round ball and a round bat, and you got to hit it square.	113
Pierre de Coubertin	In no way can sport be considered a luxury object.	113
Roz Chast	For me, drawing was an outlet. No one in school said, 'Oh, she can do sports,' or, 'She's pretty,' but I could draw.	113
Willie Mays	At ten I was playing against 18-year-old guys. At 15 I was playing professional ball with the Birmingham Black Barons, so I really came very quickly in all sports.	113
Meghan O'Rourke	What's endlessly complicated in thinking about women's gymnastics is the way that vulnerability and power are threaded through the sport.	113
Rick Pitino	Football is only once a week. NASCAR is once a week. Those sports are insanely popular. Horse racing is oversaturated. Unless tracks cut back to three days a week of full fields, a lot of people will really hurt down the road. Horse racing, to survive, has to go to that. Let's face it: Churchill Downs only does well on Derby Week.	113
Alice Dreger	No matter how little we think anatomy should matter to one's social and political rights, surely we can't pretend biology doesn't matter in sports. Surely there's a reason we don't let adults play in the t-ball leagues, and a reason most women athletes want their own leagues.	113
Allyson Felix	I myself am frustrated in just where sports are at. It's a hard thing when you're out there working every day, and you know that someone else is cheating and they may not necessarily get caught.	113
Chris Evert	I think team sports probably teach you more about giving - about being unselfish and being flexible.	113
John Battelle	There will soon be streams of data coming from all manner of products - appliances, clothing, sporting goods, you name it. Wouldn't you rather live in a world where you can export the data from your son's football helmet to a new app that monitors force and impact against a cohort of high school players around the country?	113
Junior Seau	When my TV show, 'Sports Jobs with Junior Seau,' assigned me to be a 'Sports Illustrated' reporter for a weekend, I didn't realize I'd have to squeeze it in around another sports job. I had planned to retire from the NFL to enjoy the cushy lifestyle of a full-time reality TV star, but I wound up getting run over by a bull.	113
Jennie Finch	Although it is disappointing that softball was not reinstated into the Olympics, we are going to continue to keep growing the sport.	114
Indra Nooyi	When I came to America in 1978, I was a huge sports fan - the problem was, my sport was cricket. Shockingly enough, no one wanted to talk cricket with me!	114
Dave Barry	Skiing combines outdoor fun with knocking down trees with your face.	114
Alan Shepard	Of course, in our grade school, in those days, there were no organized sports at all. We just went out and ran around the school yard for recess.	114
Billie Jean King	Sports are a microcosm of society.	114
Carroll Shelby	In 1964, when Lee Iacocca said, 'Shelby, I want you to make a sports car out of the Mustang,' the first thing I said was, 'Lee, you can't make a race horse out of a mule. I don't want to do it.' He said, 'I didn't ask you to make it; you work for me.'	114
Channing Tatum	Soccer was the first sport that my parents put me in, and ultimately, all the parents kind of came over to my mom and were, 'We think Channing would be better at football.... We love him, he's really great, but he's kind of hurting our children.' I was just a little wild.	114
Charles Barkley	These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it.	114
Gisele Bundchen	I'm one of these people that likes adrenaline and new things, like extreme sports. It makes me feel alive.	114
Haile Gebrselassie	My father thought sport was something fun - he didn't know it was a way to make money. Then I won a Mercedes at the world championships and I gave it to him. From the moment it arrived my father said: 'Good, you can support not just yourself but me too'.	114
Hank Aaron	I don't feel right unless I have a sport to play or at least a way to work up a sweat.	114
Hedy Lamarr	I have never seen a wrestling match or a prize fight, and I don't want to. When I find out a man is interested in these sports, I drop him.	114
Kurt Russell	I started playing ball when I was a kid. My dad was a pro ball player and he passed on his knowledge to me.	114
Mario Andretti	The day of parochialism in sports is over. The world is too small for what people like to call 'the good old days.' Fans want the best, wherever they come from.	114
Matthew McConaughey	I'm a golfer, and what are the two sports you can do till you drop? Golf and surfing. They're great for you limber-wise, they're great for you health-wise, and they put you in sweet locations.	114
Michael Phelps	This is my 20th year in the sport. I've known swimming and that's it. I don't want to swim past age 30; if I continue after this Olympics, and come back in 2016, I'll be 31. I'm looking forward to being able to see the other side of the fence.	114
Nat King Cole	The only sport I'm not interested in is horse racing. That's because I don't know the horses personally.	114
Norm MacDonald	I sort of try to write everything for me. I'm a huge sports fan but have no interest in minutiae. I don't remember who won Super Bowls five years ago or listen to sports talk radio. I'm trying to make sure the jokes are self-contained so they're accessible to everyone.	114
Penn Jillette	Poker has the feeling of a sport, but you don't have to do push-ups.	114
Pierre de Coubertin	All sports must be treated on the basis of equality.	114
Rachel Nichols	I will openly admit that I've never really followed hockey. Given my New England upbringing, I have always adhered to the Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins mantra of professional sports fandom, but hockey was definitely the lowest sport on the totem pole - even when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup.	114
Sidney Crosby	I think every athlete will tell you no matter what sport you're in, when you train so hard and when you care so much about doing what you do, there's a little bit of nerves that come with that. But nerves that won't prevent you form performing, nerves that, hopefully, allow you to be that much more motivated and inspired to do well.	114
Tim Tebow	We play a sport. It's a game. At the end of the day, that's all it is, is a game. It doesn't make you any better or any worse than anybody else. So by winning a game, you're no better. By losing a game, you're no worse. I think by keeping that mentality, it really keeps things in perspective for me to treat everybody the same.	114
Ty Cobb	The crowd makes the ballgame.	114
Willa Cather	All the intelligence and talent in the world can't make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can't be bred in captivity. It is a sport, like the silver fox. It happens.	114
Andrew Young	The commercialization of sport is the democratization of sport.	114
Rory McIlroy	How can I intimidate Tiger Woods? I mean, the guy's got 75 or whatever PGA Tour wins, 14 majors. He's been the biggest thing ever in our sport. How could some little 23-year-old from Northern Ireland with a few wins come up and intimidate him.	114
Thomas Perez	Involvement in my kids' sports teams is something I have made time for over the years. I've also been able to coach all three of them in baseball and basketball, something that has strengthened our bonds and given me indescribable joy. I wouldn't trade it for anything.	114
Patrick Chan	There isn't quite a feeling you get from playing video games that you get when you're playing sports, which is like a sense of euphoria. You just get the satisfaction of doing something active and feeling good after.	114
Sania Mirza	I have a passion for playing tennis and enjoy the workload and struggles of performing in this amazing global sport.	114
Joe Montana	In sports... you play from the time you're eight years old, and then you're done forever.	114
Kobe Bryant	In an individual sport, yes, you have to win titles. Baseball's different. But basketball, hockey? One person can control the tempo of a game, can completely alter the momentum of a series. There's a lot of great individual talent.	115
Billie Jean King	Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose-it teaches you about life.	115
Bo Jackson	Don't sell yourself short because without that you can't go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can't do anything else with that.	115
Elayne Boosler	You know, if you need 100 rounds to kill a deer, maybe hunting isn't your sport.	115
Ernie Banks	The only way to prove that you're a good sport is to lose.	115
Lance Armstrong	Cycling is a sport of the open road and spectators are lining that road.	115
Michael Phelps	I think the biggest things I am looking forward to is getting new faces into the sport. Getting kids who could be afraid of water to feel comfortable in the pool.	115
Nita Ambani	Sport is not just about entertainment. It is equally about winning and losing, pooling and galvanising the energy of the youth, upgrading people's physical fitness and mental prowess.	115
P. G. Wodehouse	To find a man's true character, play golf with him.	115
Pierre de Coubertin	All sports for all people.	115
Andre Maurois	Business is a combination of war and sport.	115
Jessie J	'Just Do It' is exactly what you need to hear when you're in a moment of doubt. When you're struggling, especially with sport... just do it. Stop talking about it, stop complaining about the cellulite, or that you're not able to run fast enough for the bus... just do it.	115
Joe Namath	I was lucky enough when it came to sports and work ethic to be taught some basics that continue to be important.	115
John McEnroe	I'll let the racket do the talking.	115
Mike Nichols	When we talk about reviews, what we are really talking about is just a market report - it's like reading about the new Lexus. You have to know what the guy writing the review cares about to understand his take. Does he like sports cars, or does he like Bentleys?	115
Mitch Albom	I find interesting characters or lessons that resonate with people and sometimes I write about them in the sports pages, sometimes I write them in a column, sometimes in a novel, sometimes a play or sometimes in nonfiction. But at the core I always say to myself, 'Is there a story here? Is this something people want to read?'	115
Brandi Chastain	You'll be dedicated and that's what you should want to be in anything in life - whether it's sports or academics or your relationship. It all stems from finding that fun, that thrill, that excitement.	115
George Bernard Shaw	When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport; when a tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity.	116
George Orwell	Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.	116
Gilbert K. Chesterton	I regard golf as an expensive way of playing marbles.	116
Vince Lombardi	Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.	116
Aneurin Bevan	Politics is a blood sport.	116
Bobby Orr	Minor sports in the community is fun and recreation for everyone, not just the elite. I think back to my days in minor hockey and those are my fondest memories, having fun.	116
Chance The Rapper	The weird thing about rap is that you don't get compared in the same way that athletes do, even though it's probably the most competitive sport in music. In basketball, they look at a player and say: 'This guy was the best in his prime at this sport.' But in rap it's not until you're dead or retired that people think about it like that.	116
Gail Collins	Bin Laden wasn't all that central to the terrorist network any more, but taking him down created a kind of national catharsis. It's been a really, really long time since we had something to celebrate that didn't involve a sports team. I'd rather it had been a non-death-related occasion, but we'll take what we can get.	116
Pamela Anderson	I have a Stella McCartney Adidas sports bra. I feel like I'm totally comfortable running. No problem. I have support where I need it.	116
Sachin Tendulkar	Isn't cricket supposed to be a team sport? I feel people should decide first whether cricket is a team game or an individual sport.	116
Tony McCoy	Even though people involved in racing think that it has a big sporting stage, it is a minority sport compared to some of the other high-profile events: football, Formula One or golf.	116
Abhishek Bachchan	Basketball is my favorite sport, and I'm also a very passionate football fan.	116
Carmelo Anthony	Denver is home to me, and to be recognized for my achievements in the sports community here is a great honor.	116
Charlie Kaufman	I'm not into extreme sports or something. I just live a quiet life.	116
Darell Hammond	As parents, we need to send our kids back to 'old-fashioned' outdoor summer camps, which have been on the decline as the demand for sports and academics-based camps has risen. We need to fight budget cuts to public parks programs and resist closures of public swimming pools and playgrounds.	116
Jamie Dornan	Because I used to play a lot of sport, I've always been in decent enough shape. When I used to get asked to do a bit of body work before a photo shoot I'd lie and say, 'Yeah, I'm going to the gym.' I literally never did anything.	116
Rosabeth Moss Kanter	I've been looking at companies that are on a positive path vs. a negative path and I've come to use the language of sports, winning streaks and losing streaks.	116
Joe Montana	Yeah, I think it motivates you as people start to count you out. It doesn't make you play any harder, because every time you go out on the field you give 110 percent, but it does give you more of an edge mentally, knowing that you were in the same situation, because in sports you always find yourself behind.	116
Lil Wayne	Honestly, I don't listen to nobody else's music but my own. It's kind of like sports to me. You don't see Kobe Bryant at a LeBron James game - he just works on his own game. And that's what I do. I only listen to me, so I can criticize and analyze and all those things.	117
William James	Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second.	117
Billie Jean King	Women's sports is still in its infancy. The beginning of women's sports in the United States started in 1972, with the passage of Title 9 for girls to finally get athletic scholarships.	117
Eric Schmidt	The coach doesn't have to play the sport as well as you do. They have to watch you and get you to be your best.	117
Gabe Newell	The Internet is changing what entertainment and sports is. It's not just a few people authoring an experience for others. It's really growing out of what everybody does.	117
John Madden	Trip Hawkins - and this was the early 1980s - was saying there's going to be a day when everyone has a computer and they're going to want to do more on it, including playing games. So he started up a company, EA Sports, and he was going to have three games, football, basketball and baseball. So I was the football game.	117
Malcolm Gladwell	The paradox of endurance sports is that an athlete can never work as hard as he wants, because if he pushes himself too far, his hematocrit will fall.	117
Pierre de Coubertin	Success comprises in itself the seeds of its own decline and sport is not spared by this law.	117
Viswanathan Anand	There are two aspects to being competitive; one is to do with sports, and the other is about technical skills. Being able to recollect the moves and apply them when necessary is a critical aspect.	117
Damian Marley	I'm about 5' 10", and my hair is the length of my whole body now. We grow our hair because of faith, but it's getting heavy. Most of the rastas I know with hair my length are elders, and they keep it tied up, but for a young person who's active and running around, the weight is a big thing. So to play sports, I put it in a backpack.	117
Derrick Rose	I love eating it - grilled chicken, pasta, rice, and other foods that give me long term energy. Every once in a while, my sweet tooth gets the best of me and I have to snack on some candy. Beverage wise, I stick to sports drinks, water, milk, and juice.	117
Joan Jett	I love sports. I love animals. I love kids. I want to save the world. So how do I combine all those things? I don't know.	117
Patrick Chan	I'm extremely well recognized in Korea just because of what I do on the ice, and there is a lack of that in Canada because hockey is our sport and it will be for eternity.	117
Saina Nehwal	Badminton is not a popular sport in India.	117
Sania Mirza	We players are as normal human beings as anyone else, and we also have the right to live a normal life. I don't understand why people talk so much about the way we dress up, how we walk, what we eat, and every little detail of ours. Players are the real heroes. Sports have both respect and fame, and I am fortunate enough to be a sportsperson.	117
Aaron Tveit	I didn't grow up a theatre kid, going to theatre camps. I played sports, and that was my main direction. But luckily, I never had to choose between sports and theatre.	117
Pele	If I pass away one day, I am happy because I tried to do my best. My sport allowed me to do so much because it's the biggest sport in the world.	118
Andy Murray	Tennis is an individual sport, and I am quite a self-conscious person.	118
Billie Jean King	In the seventies we had to make it acceptable for people to accept girls and women as athletes. We had to make it okay for them to be active. Those were much scarier times for females in sports.	118
Dan Gable	Many of those who have paid the ultimate price for freedom have come through the wrestling ranks. We need to honor them and win this decision to have wrestling - the world's oldest sport - remain a part of the most prestigious athletic competition in the world, the Olympics.	118
Jason Statham	I used to play a lot of racket sports, tennis and squash.	118
Pierre de Coubertin	In the Olympic Oath, I ask for only one thing: sporting loyalty.	118
Abhishek Bachchan	I think every school in the world should have a sports program.	118
Joe Frazier	Boxing is the only sport you can get your brain shook, your money took and your name in the undertaker book.	118
Madeleine M. Kunin	Why are video games so violent? The ones I've seen remind me of the 4th of July, with everything exploding, buildings, cars, airplanes, men and women. Kill, kill, and kill for sport and entertainment.	118
Brandi Chastain	Julie, Mia and I just met for a couple days, doing some work but really under the guise of having fun. We do events like the Women's Sports Foundation Dinner, where we get to not only do a good thing for the community but we get to hang out with one another again.	118
Hunter S. Thompson	I have long understood that losing always comes with the territory when you wander into the gambling business, just as getting crippled for life is an acceptable risk in the linebacker business. They both are extremely violent sports, and pain is part of the bargain. Buy the ticket, take the ride.	119
Vince Lombardi	Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.	119
Arnold Palmer	What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive.	119
Bob Uecker	Sporting goods companies pay me not to endorse their products.	119
Charles Barkley	If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming.	119
Charles Lamb	Cards are war, in disguise of a sport.	119
Eric Clapton	Very much like that, and very much a loner, do you know and I didn't fit really into sport or all kind of group activities as a kid, I couldn't find a niche. And music was not really part of the kind of village curriculum it would, you know.	119
Lee Trevino	You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work.	119
Naveen Jain	As a father, I believe that involving children in sports at a young age is generally, a wise proposition. I believe that healthy competition is... well... healthy; that sporting events foster a spirit of teamwork that far surpasses the events themselves; and that active participation keeps children moving and is good for their self-esteem.	119
Norman Ralph Augustine	Bulls do not win bull fights. People do.	119
Robert Dallek	Public scandals are America's favorite parlor sport. Learning about the flaws and misdeeds of the rich and famous seems to satisfy our egalitarian yearnings.	119
Ryan Lochte	I want people to see the passion I have for swimming and become more involved in the sport.	119
Thierry Henry	Sometimes in football you have to score goals.	119
Brian O'Driscoll	The great thing about playing team sport is you win and lose together, and the pain is never as bad when you share it.	119
Michael Schumacher	In sport there is never any moment that is the same as the other. I have been in Formula One for 12 years, and out of that I had one year with the perfect car.	119
Joaquin Phoenix	There are kids who get on a BMX bike when they're eight years old and they go, 'Whoa, this is incredible,' and grow up to do extreme sports. It's the same for me with acting.	119
Jennie Finch	It is incredible how far women have come and women in sports have come.	120
John Madden	The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.	120
Pierre de Coubertin	Sport must be accessible to working class youth.	120
Twyla Tharp	The content and thematic materials of dance is, of itself, like boxing. You play tennis and baseball. But boxing is not a sport you play: you stand up and do it.	120
Venus Williams	Unfortunately the world is what it is now. People don't get along for whatever reason. As professional athletes, in a way we're almost ambassadors for peace, because sports brings everyone together.	120
Akshay Kumar	My love for sports will never die. I love martial arts and I want to promote it in whichever way I can. I am a fighter first, then an actor.	120
Tiesto	I would love to fall in love and get married and have beautiful children. I mean that's one of the goals in life, I think, to have, and it's a beautiful thing. My sister has kids and all my friends have kids. They show me their, you know their report cards. And I can show them my sports car.	120
Andrew Luck	When I grew up, my father taught us the value of hard work. He wanted us to enjoy ourselves, but he also wanted to know what it took to be successful. He coached a lot of our sports teams growing up. We weren't very good, but we learned about hard work and enjoying life and your teammates.	120
Sania Mirza	Tennis is a funny game, and it takes a life-time of keeping one's eyes open on the circuit to have any chance of understanding the strange phenomena that exist in our exciting sport!	120
Muhammad Ali	It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.	121
Martin Seligman	Psychology is much bigger than just medicine, or fixing unhealthy things. It's about education, work, marriage - it's even about sports. What I want to do is see psychologists working to help people build strengths in all these domains.	121
Pierre de Coubertin	Sport is part of every man and woman's heritage and its absence can never be compensated for.	121
Steve Nash	Basketball isn't as popular in Canada as it is in the US. Hockey is by far the most popular sport in Canada.	121
Venus Williams	In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.	121
Patrick Chan	In skating or any amateur sport, as athletes we share something in common: the cost of training is quite a burden on our parents or on the athletes themselves trying to find a way to pay for their costs.	121
Adele	Even if I did have, you know, a 'Sports Illustrated' body, I'd still wear elegant clothes.	122
Mike Tyson	I want to rip out his heart and feed it to Lennox Lewis. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children.	122
Wayne Gretzky	I think that from the time you start playing sports as a child you see that your responsibility to your team is to play the best that you can play as an individual... and yet, not take anything away from being part of a team.	122
Dennis Rodman	I'm nothing more than a sports slave.	122
Linus Torvalds	The thing I love about diving is the flowing feeling. I like a sport where the whole point is to move as little as humanly possible so your air supply will last longer. That's my kind of sport. Where the amount of effort spent is absolutely minimal.	122
Pierre de Coubertin	Racial distinctions should not play a role in sport.	122
Rachel Nichols	Who cares if your outfit is black and you're sporting a brown belt? Wear it, rock it, love it - and others will, too. Nothing beats a belt.	122
Jenson Button	I think as a 20-year-old you expect life to always be easy. You get given a good hand and the chance to race in Formula One. You think the driver can make the difference, can make up for everything else within the team. But that is not the case. You are racing in such a competitive sport so that doesn't happen.	122
Vince Lombardi	We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time.	123
Billie Jean King	Ever since that day when I was 11 years old, and I wasn't allowed in a photo because I wasn't wearing a tennis skirt, I knew that I wanted to change the sport.	123
Cam Newton	But yet I don't think I should be labeled just a black quarterback, because it's bigger things in this sport that need to be accomplished.	123
Denis Leary	Hockey's my favorite sport.	123
Satchel Paige	If a man can beat you, walk him.	123
Woodrow Wilson	Golf is a game in which one endeavors to control a ball with implements ill adapted for the purpose.	124
Andy Murray	I've been asked a lot lately if tennis is clean or not. I don't know any more how you judge whether a sport is clean. If one in 100 players is doping, in my eyes that isn't a clean sport.	124
Billie Jean King	I wanted to use sports for social change.	124
Lindsey Vonn	Athletics at the highest level is a sport within a sport.	124
Matthew McConaughey	I'm a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.	124
Michael Phelps	I have the opportunity to be part of swimming history. To take the sport to a new level would be an honor for me. There's no better time to try this than now.	124
Mike Krzyzewski	I had a really bad temper, when I was growing up. Sport helped me channel that temper into more positive acts.	124
Pierre de Coubertin	For me sport was a religion... with religious sentiment.	124
Robert Redford	I've always liked speed. I own a car that I shouldn't be talking about because I'm an environmentalist, but the 1955 Porsche Spyder 550 RS is the finest sports car ever made.	124
Eduardo Galeano	The fiesta of soccer, a feast for the legs that play and the eyes that watch, is much more than a big business run by overlords from Switzerland. The most popular sport in the world wants to serve the people who embrace it.	125
Lindsey Vonn	It's so important for kids to get involved with sports in general at a young age.	125
Michael Phelps	It's cool just because I've had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and it's finally happening.	125
Mindy Kaling	I'm not good at anything except writing jokes. I wasn't good at sports, I wasn't good at anything artsy, ever. I think there was a real worry for a while about what I would be good at. I was just this chubby little Indian kid who looked like a nerd.	125
Peter O'Toole	All the minor sports injuries you acquire over the years begin to multiply like flies when you get over 70.	125
Shimon Peres	I think I was a good student, because I jumped over a school. My main interest was basically history and literature. Sports were basically basketball and swimming at a pool. I was so happy.	125
Tiger Woods	Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.	125
Johnny Weir	I got into figure skating for the art of it, as well as the sport, and how much I love it. And, you know, I do everything that I want. I march to my own drummer. Sometimes people have an issue with that, and I can't control it.	125
Arthur Ashe	There is a syndrome in sports called 'paralysis by analysis.'	126
Dave Grohl	I think maybe people see bands and musicians as some sort of superhero unrealistic sport that happens in another dimension where it's not real people and not real emotions. So, I grew up listening to Beatles records on my floor. That's how I learned how to play guitar. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be a musician.	126
Gerald R. Ford	I love sports. Whenever I can, I always watch the Detroit Tigers on the radio.	126
Ronda Rousey	Where is women's sports prominently displayed with the men? Tennis is the only thing I can think of.	126
H. G. Wells	The uglier a man's legs are, the better he plays golf - it's almost a law.	201
Noel Gallagher	American sports are quite masculine. And football - although it's still played by men all over the world - football compared to American football is quite feminine in its artistry. And there's no padding. It's America's loss, though.	201
Shaun White	I love the sport of snowboarding so much, but I just don't want to talk about it, ever.	201
Jack Nicklaus	He has the finest, fundamentally sound golf swing I've ever seen.	202
Peyton Manning	My dad told us up front, 'Guys, if you want to play sports, go ahead, but it's your decision.'	202
Rafael Nadal	Tennis is a hard sport. There is a lot of competition all year and you play alone.	202
Robert Redford	Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played - skiing, baseball, fishing - there is no greater example than golf, because you're playing against yourself and nature.	202
Indra Nooyi	When it comes to women, there has been a tendency to define women in sports in the context of their relationships - they watch games because their husbands watch. They're interested because their kids play a sport. They buy tickets to a sporting event because it's a way to spend time with family.	203
David Icke	The opening and closing ceremonies of the London Olympics are mass satanic rituals disguised as a celebration of Britain and sport. Their medium is the language of symbolism.	203
Jane Austen	A single woman with a very narrow income must be a ridiculous, disagreeable old maid - the proper sport of boys and girls; but a single woman of good fortune is always respectable, and may be as sensible and pleasant as anybody else.	203
Hope Solo	I never felt the same passion for the game in the States and there were a lot of headaches, a lot of obstacles to overcome - it didn't just run itself for the love of the game because soccer is not the No. 1 sport as it is in Europe.	203
Mike Krzyzewski	Basketball was not my main sport in grade school, or even the first year of high school.	203
David Icke	The BBC sports department when I was there was seriously to the right of Ghengis Khan, and if people think I am strange, they should have met some of the production staff I worked with. Margaret Thatcher and the Queen were the pin up girls for many of them.	204
Billie Joe Armstrong	The things that people do now in sports, you can't even believe. These are complete total athletes. To see what human beings can do in the highest level is amazing.	204
David Beckham	Football's the biggest game in the world. America's the greatest sporting nation there is. To play some part in putting those two things together: why wouldn't I be excited about that?	204
Drew Barrymore	I loved the world of roller derby because I thought it was such an empowering metaphor, that you get out there and do it. It's such a rocker, athletic, capable, cool exhibitionist sport; it's about this great sort of camaraderie.	204
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.	I'm not in this sport to say a guy can beat me.	204
Mike Krzyzewski	First of all, what happens is, when you're good at something, you spend a lot of time with it. People identify you with that sport, so it becomes part of your identity.	204
Naveen Jain	The truth is, what Americans enjoy about football is much of what makes the sport dangerous. However, I believe there must be a way to find the art of success and vitality in football, without the driving the level of impact that causes serious risk of head trauma, paralysis and other life-changing injuries.	204
Dan Quayle	Bobby Knight told me this: 'There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.' In other words a good offense wins.	205
Michel de Montaigne	Even from their infancy we frame them to the sports of love: their instruction, behavior, attire, grace, learning and all their words azimuth only at love, respects only affection. Their nurses and their keepers imprint no other thing in them.	205
Shaquille O'Neal	I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.	205
Temple Grandin	I'm a visual thinker, really bad at algebra. There's others that are a pattern thinker. These are the music and math minds. They think in patterns instead of pictures. Then there's another type that's not a visual thinker at all, and they're the ones that memorize all of the sports statistics, all of the weather statistics.	205
Jane Austen	For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors and laugh at them in our turn?	206
Johnny Depp	I'll take photographs with kids. People who want to take photographs with me. People who like the movies. People who supported me. I'll do that all day, all night, that's fine. But the bombardment of the paparazzi is just... I truly don't understand. It just feels like this kind of gluttonous, horrific sport. It's like sport.	206
Joe Rogan	Your body's really only meant to compete at the highest levels of combat sports for a few years.	206
Shaquille O'Neal	If you got the game, you got the game. That's why Tiger Woods is out there playing golf with Greg Norman.	206
Jeffrey Kluger	As the National Football League and other pro sports increasingly reckon with the early dementia, mental health issues, suicides and even criminal behavior of former players, the risk of what's known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), is becoming clear.	207
Lou Holtz	At home I have a copy of the April 21, 1986, issue of 'Sports Illustrated.' I'm on the cover with the blurb, 'Can Lou Do It?' I'd just arrived at Notre Dame, and with spring football underway, I was the focal point of that week's coverage.	208
Brad Pitt	I'd like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right.	208
John Cena	My dad is the reason I actually started watching wrestling. My dad was never big into sports; we were all big into sports as kids, and he'd go to our Little League games or whatever and not really know what was going on, because he didn't know about sports, but he knew about wrestling.	208
Tiger Woods	Every sport evolves. Every sport gets bigger and more athletic, and you have to keep up.	208
Pele	Sport is something that is very inspirational for young people.	210
Tim Burton	I did some sports. It was a bit frustrating. I wasn't the greatest sports person.	210
Yogi Berra	Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.	210
Charles B. Rangel	In various fields, such as science, technology, sports, business and the arts, immigrants enrich our culture every single day.	210
Shia LaBeouf	A lot of people like to think that golf is a lazy man's sport. Or it's a rich man's sport, or it's a sport that they can't be involved in.	210
Thomas Friedman	Every sport needs its temple, its cathedral.	210
Tiger Woods	You can win all the tournaments you want, but the majors are what you're remembered for. It's how you're measured as a champion in our sport. The majors are where it's at.	210
Tom Brady	In Boston, they love their sports celebrities. And it's great.	210
Virat Kohli	I don't think there is anything wrong in earning money from the sport you love. If you work hard and get benefits from it, there is no harm. The day you feel that you are not working hard and are only looking at the benefits, that's where the problem is.	211
William Wordsworth	Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness.	211
Bill Nye	When one shows up in jeans and a T-shirt, I strongly feel that the audience reacts in a very different way than when you show up in a sport coat and a tie.	211
David Beckham	Kids can have great passion and great ability but if you have the facilities for your particular sport that can give you the inspiration to become a sportsman.	211
Douglas Coupland	I was always the youngest person in class, skinny, scrawny, no good at sports. I asserted myself by being smart. But then I got to college and started to get C's and D's. That was fantastic. I no longer had to be the smartest person in the room.	211
James Surowiecki	The ban on sports betting does exactly what Prohibition did. It makes criminals rich.	211
Demetri Martin	Swimming is a confusing sport, because sometimes you do it for fun, and other times you do it to not die. And when I'm swimming, sometimes I'm not sure which one it is.	212
Camille Paglia	Modern bodybuilding is ritual, religion, sport, art, and science, awash in Western chemistry and mathematics. Defying nature, it surpasses it.	212
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.	Floyd Mayweather is in the sport to give great performances.	212
Gisele Bundchen	I love outdoor sports, like volleyball, and I play them whenever I can.	212
Magic Johnson	Everyone thought I was going to die like a year later, they didn't know. So I helped educate sports, and then the world, that a man living with HIV can play basketball. He's not going to give it to anybody by playing basketball.	212
Rafael Nadal	Hard courts are very negative for the body. I know the sport is a business and creating these courts is easier than clay or grass, but I am 100 per cent sure it is wrong.	212
Ziggy Marley	Fitness has always been one of the top priorities in my life because that's the way I grew up, with soccer being the sport of choice.	212
LeBron James	But sports carried me away from being in a gang, or being associated with drugs. Sports was my way out.	213
David Beckham	I feel this pang of regret whenever I watch sport; this sense that I will never play a big match again.	213
Hugh Jackman	One afternoon when I was 9, my dad told me I'd be skipping school the next day. Then we drove 12 hours from Melbourne to Sydney for the Centenary Test, a once-in-a-lifetime commemorative cricket match. It was great fun - especially for a kid who was a massive sports fan.	213
Carrie Underwood	I'm girlie in the sense that I like makeup, but I also love sports and man food.	214
Walt Whitman	I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.	215
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.	There's ups and downs with boxing, layoffs are part of the sport and they can either help or hurt a guy.	215
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.	I'm not in this sport to take punishment.	216
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar	Sports and entertainment are the only places where inner-city kids see themselves being able to succeed. Their intellectual development is something they don't relate to.	216
Magic Johnson	When you think about the NASCAR brand, it resonates everywhere. They have the No. 1 sports brand.	216
Jimmy Fallon	Thank you... fantasy football draft, for letting me know that even in my fantasies, I am bad at sports.	217
John Wooden	I think that in any group activity - whether it be business, sports, or family - there has to be leadership or it won't be successful.	218
Marcus Samuelsson	For many sports fans, the onset of fall only means one thing: It's football season!	218
Phil McGraw	Life is a full-contact sport, and there's a score up on the board.	219
Harvey Mackay	It doesn't matter whether you are pursuing success in business, sports, the arts, or life in general: The bridge between wishing and accomplishing is discipline.	219
Jack Nicklaus	He's going to be around a long, long time, if his body holds up. That's always a concern with a lot of players because of how much they play. A lot of guys can't handle it. But it looks like he can.	219
Dan Quayle	Great American sport. Horseshoes is a very great game. I love it.	220
Elon Musk	Selling an electric sports car creates an opportunity to fundamentally change the way America drives.	220
Dave Barry	The problem with winter sports is that - follow me closely here - they generally take place in winter.	220
Mike Tyson	I'm the biggest fighter in the history of the sport. If you don't believe it, check the cash register.	220
Carrie Underwood	I love sporting events and popcorn and pizza and being outside, like at a baseball or football game. I love amusement parks, going to ride roller coasters.	220
Mark Twain	Golf is a good walk spoiled.	224
Dave Chappelle	I think extreme sports are really good for relieving stress.	225
Daniel Kahneman	Political columnists and sports pundits are rewarded for being overconfident.	226
Erma Bombeck	If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.	301
Cara Delevingne	I want to explore the world properly, to be able to write about and take pictures of all kinds of different cultures. Just be an explorer or adventurer. I also love extreme sports.	301
Michael Jordan	I won't have any competitive instincts in any sports, other than golf. I can't see being competitive in sports any more.	302
Joyce Carol Oates	Boxing has become America's tragic theater.	302
George Orwell	Serious sport is war minus the shooting.	304
Mark Twain	It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling.	307
Vladimir Putin	Above all, such sports as judo, in my view, teach people to relate to each other. They teach us to respect a partner, teach us to understand that an externally weak partner can not only put up worthy resistance, but, if you relax and take too much for granted, may even win.	308
David Chang	I'm a big sports fan.	309
Hunter S. Thompson	One of the most basic factors in sports is that winning becomes a habit, and losing is the same way. When failure starts to feel normal in your life or your work or even your darkest vices, you won't have to go looking for trouble, because trouble will find you. Count on it.	310
Hunter S. Thompson	February is always a bad month for TV sports. Football is gone, basketball is plodding along in the annual midseason doldrums, and baseball is not even mentioned.	311
Joel Osteen	I like sports, and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.	312
Robert Kiyosaki	It was easy being healthy when I was young. I was full of energy, so sports and physical challenges were fun. But as I got older and the spring left my step, exercise became harder, and eating, drinking and watching TV became easier. By the time I was 50, I'd put on 50 pounds.	312
Dave Barry	Have you noticed that whatever sport you're trying to learn, some earnest person is always telling you to keep your knees bent?	313
Michael Jordan	I wasn't really a work-conscious type of person. I was a player. I loved to play sports.	314
Angelina Jolie	I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn't kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.	314
Hunter S. Thompson	The best thing about the Kentucky Derby is that it is only two minutes long. It is the quickest event in sports, except for Sumo-wrestling & Mike Tyson fights. Maybe Drag-racing is quicker, but I have never been attracted to it.	316
Vladimir Putin	I spend a little time every day to play sports.	317
Ambrose Bierce	Academe, n.: An ancient school where morality and philosophy were taught. Academy, n.: A modern school where football is taught.	319
P. J. O'Rourke	Of course, no one wants to ban the vote. Voting should remain available for sporting and recreational purposes. But certain types of votes clearly should be curtailed - 'assault votes,' for example, in which the only purpose of the vote is to harm others.	320
Will Rogers	I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.	321
Michael Jordan	As athletes, we're used to reacting quickly. Here, it's 'come, stop, come, stop.' There's a lot of downtime. That's the toughest part of the day.	322
Richard M. Nixon	I don't know anything that builds the will to win better than competitive sports.	322
Ernest Hemingway	The game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green.	406
Jackie Chan	You cannot mix sports with politics.	409
Hunter S. Thompson	The only thing wrong with the NBA - or any other professional sport, for that matter - is a wild epidemic of Dumbness and overweening Greed. There is no Mystery about it, and no need to change any rules.	410
Robert Frost	I'd just as soon play tennis with the net down.	412
Hunter S. Thompson	I have learned, in my life and work as a sportswriter, that big-time Sports and big-time Politics are not so far apart in America. They are both a means to the same end, which is victory... And why not? Victory is good for you, and don't let anybody tell you different.	416
Marilyn Monroe	If your man is a sports enthusiast, you may have to resign yourself to his spouting off in a monotone on a prize fight, football game or pennant race.	423
Richard Dawkins	Science has taught us, against all intuition, that apparently solid things like crystals and rocks are really almost entirely composed of empty space. And the familiar illustration is the nucleus of an atom is a fly in the middle of a sports stadium, and the next atom is in the next sports stadium.	423
Clint Eastwood	My uncle played rugby, and my dad played football, and they used to argue which game was the roughest - and everybody agreed rugby was. It's a great team sport, and to be successful, every person has to play in the same level.	503
Chuck Palahniuk	We don't see a lot of models for male social interaction. There's sports and barn raisings.	503
William Shakespeare	As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods; they kill us for their sport.	506
Joyce Meyer	At school I pretended I had a normal life, but I felt lonely all the time and different from everyone else. I never felt like I fit in, and I wasn't allowed to participate in after-school activities, go to sports events or parties or date boys. Many times I had to make up stories about why I couldn't do anything with my classmates.	508
H. L. Mencken	I hate all sports as rabidly as a person who likes sports hates common sense.	601
Marilyn Monroe	I have never cared especially for outdoor sports and have no desire to excel at tennis, swimming, or golf. I'll leave those things to the men.	723
George Bernard Shaw	Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended.	823
Bill Gates	Eventually you won't think of 'the Internet business.' You'll think of it more like news, weather, sports, but even that taxonomy isn't clear.	1005
