I love the way this sport has evolved and impacted every segment of society.

Now you have cross training and weight training in every sport and from middle school kids to senior citizens.

People make a mistake thinking that two people with identical mindset gel well.
Gautam Gambhir

If money is tight, or you're on a limited budget, then consider DIY or used gifts. DIY could be something like baked goods for your friends, family, and neighbors. Plus, if you have children, it's a great activity to do with them during the holidays.
John Rampton

The custom of clasping hands is thought to date back thousands of years, as proof of not holding any weapons.
Faith Salie

I believe in term limits. I believe the country would be hugely better off if we had more turnover in Congress.
Bill Flores

When we demand Woman Suffrage, we can only do so on the ground, not that it should be a right attached to the possession of a certain amount of property, but that it should be inherent in the woman herself.
Clara Zetkin

I stopped acting a long time ago and my primary career has been producing-directing film.
Peter Billingsley

For me, it always goes back to what my mother taught me and my sisters. That all women are beautiful, and we should embrace each other.
Alek Wek

Richard Sherman is a creation of the media and a bright young man who has learned how to capitalize on everything, and sometimes at the expense of his other teammates.
Jim Brown

Lotteries are just one way to provide positive reinforcement. Their power comes from the fact that the chance of winning the prize is overvalued.
Richard Thaler

If you live in the States, you have to join a gym.

If you... scaled down human beings, scaled down society, if you land with a group

of little boys, they are more like a scaled-down version of society than a group of little girls would be. William Golding I've been performing since I was a child; my mother would have to pull me aside and tell me that I wasn't onstage. I was a cheerleader, president of choir, and in the school play. Aja Naomi King I am a very strong supporter of our government's view that it is important to engage with all countries around the world - very much including Russia. Chrystia Freeland I was wrapping up my stint on 'Daredevil' co-writing with Andy Diggle during the Shadowland story, when Marvel asked if I was interested in doing something else with DD but a bit different. When they explained the purpose of the 'Season One' books, I was intrigued - I'm a big advocate of books for people new to the medium - and said yes. Antony Johnston Spike Lee gave me the greatest reaction to the fact that I was this athlete-meets-artist, because I think he saw ...

It's not a country of articulate people, sophisticated people. There's too little subtlety. Men and

women don't enjoy each other very much in Australia. I don't find very many men sexy in Australia. Of course, I'm married and out of it, but still. Judy Davis We asked ourselves and the world to base decisions on good science, and I really believe the United States can be the leader in delivering that message to our international trading partners. Mike Johanns Preaching is effective as long as the preacher expects something to happen-not because of the sermon, not even because of the preacher, but because of God. John Hines You know, this is a business where only 15% make a living wage and only 9% of those are women. But I figured somebody has to be that 15%, somebody's got to be one of those women. Marcia Wallace Family trips to Yellowstone and to what are now national parks in Southern Utah, driving the primitive roads and cars of that day, were real adventures. Paul D. Boyer The dread of criticism is the death of genius. William Gilmore Simms A mask...

Indians mock their corrupt politicians relentlessly, but they regard their honest politicians with

silent suspicion. The first thing they do when they hear of a supposedly 'clean' politician is to grin. It is a cliche that honest politicians in India tend to have dishonest sons, who collect money from people seeking an audience with Dad. Aravind Adiga Be able to recognize the dangerous snakes, spiders, insects, and plants that live in your area of the country. Marilyn vos Savant I might survive a few days at sea. Probably not as long as Pi. Suraj Sharma I want to show little girls that the possibilities are endless. That's my goal - to not only do it for myself, but to show them I can do whatever I put my mind to. Nicki Minaj If I had my way, I'd wear jewelry, a great pair of heels and nothing else. Jada Pinkett Smith Bangalore has become a centre for healthcare. Geoff Mulgan I'm not actually teaching any more, but I am writing pieces for schools all the time, and for kids. Peter Maxwell Davies To be great we need to win games we aren't s...

The PhD system is the real root of the evil of academic snobbery. People who

have PhDs consider themselves a priesthood, and inventors generally don't have PhDs. Freeman Dyson I don't know nothing about communism. But I know the Albanians loved me. Same reason as anyone else loves me. Because I made them laugh. Norman Wisdom I am proud to be an American, and proud that such beliefs are at the core of our country and its citizens. John Linder I have tried for much of my life to write as if I was composing my sentences to be read posthumously. Christopher Hitchens I think it's not inaccurate to say that I had a perfectly happy childhood during which I was very unhappy. Joss Whedon People that have been interested in our work for awhile... those are the last people you want to disappoint. Joel Coen I write music people enjoy playing and listening to, and I have a group that loves playing the music. Chuck Mangione Our choices are going to determine the future for our children, our children's children, and their children. I take ...

Iraq... has also had contacts with al-Qaida. Their ties may be limited by divergent ideologies,

but the two sides' mutual antipathy toward the United States and the Saudi royal family suggests that tactical cooperation between them is possible. George Tenet My chief gifts are - naturally good at all sports with a raw talent for pretty much everything, which if nurtured could develop into improper talent. Michael Sheen We must not fail to recognise that television can be a hugely positive influence in children's lives, one of the greatest educators in contemporary society and an increasing influence on all the children followed in 'Child of Our Time.' Robert Winston Redd Foxx was the same gruff old codger you saw on television. Charley Pride One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them. Thomas Jefferson I want to know what the difference between the essence of a man and woman is. Tina Turner I see badly, I hear badly, and I feel bad, but everything's fine. Jeanne Calment I am not ready to fit into the mould of...

A friend of mine had his own theater company, and he jumped me in like

I was in a gang. And once I came in, it was just that simple. For the first time in my life, I felt, 'This is a career, this is a life that I think I can grow old doing.' It was love at first sight. I loved being on stage and reading these plays. It was great. David Alan Grier In school all I wanted to do was build technology. That's what I loved. Marc Benioff I tend to build bulk and muscle easily, and running seems to make sure I stay kind of stringy, if that makes sense. Apolo Ohno That's one of the reasons I moved to Florida. Of course, the main reason is the weather and the training. But there's more jealousy in Switzerland because it's so little and they don't have so many athletes. Martina Hingis But we can also take the radical view that the test of an economy has to do with the extent to which it is providing everybody with a decent means of living. David Korten I think I came to see Islam, or at least one part of Islam, as an importa...

After all it is those who have a deep and real inner life who are

best able to deal with the irritating details of outer life. Evelyn Underhill People think I must have been so talented at an early age, but I don't know - was it talent or hard work? Who knows? Monica Seles There is no loneliness like that of a failed marriage. Alexander Theroux I avoid going through places where there's too much poverty. Loretta Lynn I'm not even kind of a lesbian. Oprah Winfrey A running theme in my life is my inability to say no to anything. David Pogue In Europe, I always have fun bike riding in Amsterdam. Ezra Koenig It is difficult to make political art work. Thom Yorke America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men. Alexander Graham Bell The glamour of it all! New York! America! Charlie Chaplin

Once during a taping there was an actor who kept blowing his lines. It happened

again and again. Finally Norman Fell came out-he wasn't even in that scene. But Norman came out and you know what he did? He killed the guy with a hammer. John Ritter I firmly believe in marriage. It's a real important decision that takes a lot of dedication and time. If you're thinking about divorce. You shouldn't get married. Seth Green In our film profession you may have Gable's looks, Tracy's art, Marlene's legs or Liz's violet eyes, but they don't mean a thing without that swinging thing called courage. Frank Capra That feeling is the same whether you're on either side of the hundredths. Obviously, it's great to win the world championship, but if you put down that kind of skiing, it's awesome either way. Bode Miller Hell is an outrage on humanity. When you tell me that your deity made you in his image, I reply that he must have been very ugly. Victor Hugo One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support...

I always like to start my morning with a good amount of fruit. I really

like pineapple, particularly because of the enzymes that it has. Sometimes I have oatmeal. But if I'm feeling like I really want to be watching my weight more, then I definitely do a protein, like an omelet, scrambled eggs or some smoked salmon. Cynthia Nixon If I had to pick, I'd say my favorite book is 'A Prayer For Owen Meany', by John Irving. Sarah Dessen You can never really go wrong if you take nature as an example. Christian Dior The joke I always make about myself is that I'm self-involved, but I'm not vain. Lena Dunham Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort. Paul J. Meyer I want to come across as a positive person. Greta Scacchi It's a hard job to become president. Rick Scott I'd rather create a miniature painting than a Taj Mahal of a book. Mohsin Hamid When you have the opportunity, you strike. Rod Laver The full potential of ...

I'd like to be the commissioner of tennis, but do I want to get into

politics? Sometimes I have delusions of grandeur that that would be an interesting, good thing. I'm talking about actual politics, like being a congressman, but then I see how unbelievably nasty it really is, and maybe I'm not quite knowledgeable enough to actually do it. John McEnroe That room was not available, and the only other room had been booked for a Jewish bar mitzvah. I called the father and told him I needed the room and I would pay him to move the bar mitzvah to an adjoining room which was smaller. Lew Wasserman I've felt that if you dwell too much on your errors, you're dealing in the negativity of things. I don't like that. I'd rather work on the positive reinforcement, the things I did well. Hale Irwin Pride is a sin that can readily be seen in others but is rarely admitted in ourselves. Ezra Taft Benson As long as I play ball, I can get any woman I want. Dennis Rodman It's a market economy. Apparently the demand for great coach...
