Stephen Hawking

My goal in sailing isn't to be brilliant or flashy in individual races, just to be consistent over the long run.

Dennis Conner

Dennis Conner

Dick Butkus

Anything that happens that's good, they think, Oh, it's an accident, when is the roof caving in? You've got to get them out of that mental framework.

Dick Butkus

I'm not so mean. I wouldn't ever go out to hurt anybody deliberately - unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something.

Dick Butkus
