Quotes of 1947

Quotes taken from the authors in 1947

When you reach that elite level, 90 percent is mental and 10 percent is physical. You are competing against yourself. Not against the other athlete.

Dick Fosbury

I adapted an antiquated style and modernized it to something that was efficient. I didn't know anyone else in the world would be able to use it and I never imagined it would revolutionize the event.

Dick Fosbury

Dick Fosbury

The intelligent are to the intelligentsia what a gentleman is to a gent.

Stanley baldwin

Let us never forget this: since the day of the air, the old frontiers are gone. When you think of the defense of England you no longer think of the chalk cliffs of Dover; you think of the Rhine. That is where our frontier lies

Stanley baldwin

The bomber will always get through. The only defense is in offense, which means that you have to kill more women and children more quickly that the enemy if you want to save yourselves.

Stanley baldwin

I am not struck so much by the diversity of testimony as by the many-sidedness of truth.

Stanley baldwin

War would end if the dead could return.

Stanley baldwin

I did not have anything to do with these murders. Ever.

O J Simpson

I could not tell you the date of my mother's death. I could not tell you the date of my dad's death. These are not dates that I find significant.

O J Simpson

I'm absolutely, l00 percent, not guilty.

O J Simpson

Money takes wings. The only thing that endures is character.

O J Simpson

My NFL pension can barely pay my son's tuition. You know, it's very little money.

O J Simpson

There is nothing wrong with dedication and goals, but if you focus on yourself, all the lights fade away and you become a fleeting moment in life.

Pete Maravich

I accomplished what I set out to do, but I lost my discipline and my career.

Pete Maravich

It's hard when your father's the coach. Sometimes you don't know where one leaves off and the other begins.

Pete Maravich

My life had no meaning at all. I found only brief interludes of satisfaction. It was like my whole life had been about my whole basketball career.

Pete Maravich

I don't want to play 10 years and then die of a heart attack when I'm 40.

Pete Maravich

The United Nations was founded in the aftermath of World War II, just as the world was beginning to learn the full horrors of history's worst genocide, the Holocaust that consumed 6 million Jews and 3 million others in Europe.

Linda Chavez

Choosing one's leaders is an affirmation that the person making the choice has inherent worth.

Linda Chavez
