If the end brings me out all wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.
Lincoln, Abraham

17.
If all I'm remembered for is being a good basketball player, then I've done a bad job with the rest of my life.

Virgil

You can buy a person's time; you can buy their physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of their skilled muscular motions per hour. But you can not buy enthusiasm... you can not buy loyalty. You can not buy the devotion of hearts, minds, or souls. You must earn these.
Francis, Clarence
