Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

One day the factory sports coach, who was very strict, pointed at four boys, including me, and ordered us to run in a race. I protested that I was weak and not fit to run, but the coach sent me for a physical examination and the doctor said that I was perfectly well. So I had to run, and when I got started I felt I wanted to win. But I only came in second. That was the way it started.: Emil Zatopek
One man practicing sportsmanship is better than a hundred teaching it.: Knute Rockne (1888 - 1931)
For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?: Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Pride and Prejudice, 1811
It is very difficult to know people and I don't think one can ever really know any but one's own countrymen. For men and women are not only themselves; they are also the region in which they are born, the city apartment or the farm in which they learnt to walk, the games they played as children, the old wives' tales they overheard, the food they ate, the schools they attended, the sports they followed, the poets they read, and the God they believed in. It is all these things that have made them what they are, and these are the things that you can't come to know by hearsay, you can only know them if you have lived them.: W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Razor's Edge, 1943
