Sports Quotes 2

• When you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better. Pauline R. Kezer
• When you are ready to quit and to give up the fight,
  And the skies all above you are black as night,
  Then lift your head up and through the owly night air,
  There is power and triumph in confident prayer.
• THE COMMITTED MAN
  by Vince Lombardi
  "We know how rough the road wil be, how heavy here the load will be, we know about the barricades that wait along the track but we have set our soul ahead and nothing left from hell to sky shall ever turn us back."
• Don't look for miracles. You are a miracle.
• Failure to prepare certainly means preparing to fail. John Wooden
• You are the one who has to decide whether or not you'll do it or toss it aside. You are the one who makes up your mind whether you'll lead or linger behind--- whether you'll try for the goal that's afar or be contented to stay where you are. Take it or leave it. Here's something to do----just think it over. It's all up to you! What do you wish? To be known as a good person who's willing to work, scorned for a loaner or praised by your chief, rich or poor or beggar or thief? Eager or earnest or dull through the day, honest or crooked? It's you who must say! You must decide in the face of the test whether you'll shirk or give it your best.
• Some folks stay right in the rut while others head the throng.
  All people may be born equal but---they don't stay that way long.
  There is many a person with a gallant air, goes galloping to the fray;
  But the valuable one is the one who's there when the smoke has cleared away.
  Some "don't get nuthin' out of life" but when their whines begin,
  We often can remind them that they "don't put nuthin' in.
• Don't Quit
  When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're traveling seems all uphill, when the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit-rest if you must, but don't you quit.
  Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone if us sometimes learns. And many a fellow turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow-you may succeed with another blow.
  Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man; often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup; and he learned too late when the night came down, how close he was to the golden crown.
  Success is failure turned inside out-the silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and when you never can tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems afar; so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-it's when things seem worst, you musn't quit.
