In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.

Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.

I am convinced that material things can contribute a lot to making one's life pleasant, but, basically, if you do not have very good friends and relatives who matter to you, life will be really empty and sad and material things cease to be important.

Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.

Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.
