I don’t think there’s been anything in the game of football in my lifetime that has changed college football more than redshirting.
Lou HoltzSerious sport is war minus the shooting.
George OrwellNobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
George S. PattonMarriage is like a game of chess except the board is flowing water, the pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.
Jerry SeinfeldA politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.
Winston ChurchillI wasn’t sure of the exact mindset you should have when you go into a Test match. So I probably became too defensive when I played my first Test match. Short balls in one-day cricket, I have never thought of just defending.
Virat KohliAn army marches on its stomach.
Napoleon BonaparteSomeday, the capitalist system will disappear in the United States, because no social class system has been eternal. One day, class societies will disappear.
Fidel CastroConcentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital. The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.
Andrew CarnegieYou do the policy, I’ll do the politics.
Dan QuayleI played by the rules of politics as I found them.
Richard M. NixonProbably the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing-fields of Eton, but the opening battles of all subsequent wars have been lost there.
George OrwellSpeak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.
Theodore RooseveltI wish I had known when I was in the White House what I know now about the Third World.
Jimmy CarterThere are people who are really good managers, people who can manage a big organization, and then there are people who are very analytic or focused on strategy. Those two types don’t usually tend to be in the same person. I would put myself much more in the latter camp.
Mark ZuckerbergYou must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war.
Napoleon BonaparteI’ve tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I’ll try to tailor-make it.
Dolly PartonA lot of people think international relations is like a game of chess. But it’s not a game of chess, where people sit quietly, thinking out their strategy, taking their time between moves. It’s more like a game of billiards, with a bunch of balls clustered together.
Madeleine AlbrightIt is often useful, if an enemy happens to see you, to pretend that you have not seen him. Or it may sometimes be useful to pretend that you have other men with you. I did this once in the Boer War when, having crept up a donga to look at a Boer fort, I was seen by the enemy, and they came out to capture me.
Robert Baden-PowellSolutions are not the answer.
Richard M. NixonIf you can’t convince them, confuse them.
Harry S. TrumanAlthough almost every theoretical physicist agrees with my prediction that a black hole should glow like a hot body, it would be very difficult to verify experimentally because the temperature of a macroscopic black hole is so low.
Stephen HawkingWar – An act of violence whose object is to constrain the enemy, to accomplish our will.
George WashingtonI believe that many of my young guys lived because I didn’t waste their lives because I didn’t have the vision in my mind of how to destroy the enemy at least cost to our guys and to the innocents on the battlefields.
Jim MattisThere is but one way for a president to deal with Congress, and that is continuously, incessantly, and without interruption. If it is really going to work, the relationship has got to be almost incestuous.
Lyndon B. JohnsonDaring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheI’m not a fortune-teller.
Karl LagerfeldThe female loves to play man against man. And if she is in a position to do it, there is not one who will resist.
Charles BukowskiTobacco exports should be expanded aggressively because Americans are smoking less.
Dan QuayleThere are different ways to do innovation. You can plant a lot of seeds, not be committed to any particular one of them, but just see what grows. And this really isn’t how we’ve approached this. We go mission-first, then focus on the pieces we need and go deep on them and be committed to them.
Mark ZuckerbergWhen I say something’s going to happen, it’s going to happen.
Conor McGregorIn politics… never retreat, never retract… never admit a mistake.
Napoleon BonaparteWhen you are winning a war almost everything that happens can be claimed to be right and wise.
Winston ChurchillScience has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.
Neil ArmstrongSuccess depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.
ConfuciusEverything in war is very simple. But the simplest thing is difficult.
Carl von ClausewitzIf I said I would knock out Sonny Liston in 1 minute and 49 seconds of the first round, that would hurt the gate.
Muhammad AliIf we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do, and how to do it.
Abraham LincolnOur lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society.
Arthur C. ClarkeOn one of my last days at school, the headmaster said I would either end up in prison or become a millionaire. That was quite a startling prediction, but in some respects, he was right on both counts!
Richard BransonBaseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he’s losing; nobody wants you to quit when you’re ahead.
Jackie RobinsonIt takes a smart man to play dumb.
Mr. TIt is a fine game to play – the game of politics – and it is well worth waiting for a good hand before really plunging.
Winston ChurchillExperience teaches us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession.
George WashingtonWe have always said that in our war with the Arabs we had a secret weapon – no alternative.
Golda MeirNo foreign policy – no matter how ingenious – has any chance of success if it is born in the minds of a few and carried in the hearts of none.
Henry KissingerWar is the continuation of politics by other means.

Robert KiyosakiThe first step on the way to victory is to recognize the enemy.
Corrie Ten BoomPredicting rain doesn’t count. Building arks does.
Warren BuffettHow you go about testing is just very different to just being in the situation of qualifying, having to go out, having to nail the lap.
Lando NorrisYou can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Steve JobsWar is a game that is played with a smile. If you can’t smile, grin. If you can’t grin, keep out of the way till you can.

George H. W. BushEverybody that’s successful lays a blueprint out.
Kevin HartPolitics is like football; if you see daylight, go through the hole.
John F. KennedyWherever the enemy wants to fight, we will follow him to the ends of the Earth. We’ll adapt, we’ll train, we’ll advise, we’ll mentor, and we’ll fight, and we’ll fight well.
Jim MattisI think the running game is very important to every offense. Being balanced is extremely important. There’s times where you have to throw the ball. You could be down late in the game, you need to come back; you have to be able to pass it when they know you’re passing it.
Tom BradyThe day-to-day making of policy is arguing all the time. You’re trying to get the right approach and the right answer, and there are moments that aren’t very pleasant. But in the end, you look at the overall product.
Madeleine Albright
