I have lovely memories of Los Angeles in the 1930s. I came down to live with my mother's cousin and they invited me to come and go to junior college for a year. Beverly Cleary
I have observed that baseball is not unlike a war, and when you come right down to it, we batters are the heavy artillery. Ty Cobb
I have reached a place in my life where I need to sit down and say, 'Well, what do I do? What's best for me?' I need to look into options for the future. Michael Phelps
I have thousands of opinions still - but that is down from millions - and, as always, I know nothing. Harold Brodkey
I just feel that after the season that we have to sit down - as well as myself, everybody - and try and look at what gives us the best opportunity to move going forward. Mike Singletary
I know there are a lot of people who believe in me as a player and a person, and I don't want to let them down. Tim Tebow
I let my feet spend as little time on the ground as possible. From the air, fast down, and from the ground, fast up. Jesse Owens
I like to sit down every day and not know where the book is going. I have no idea where the book is going to go or how it's going to end as I'm writing it. Ted Bell
I love watching Anthony Kim play, but I'm not a fan of the way he grips down a good two inches on his full-swing shots. Choking down lightens the club's swingweight and effectively makes the shaft stiffer. Lee Trevino
I never want to let my teammates or coaches down, so I always fight through the days when I am exhausted or experiencing discomfort with injuries and headaches. Christie Rampone
I played with Annika today. I love being paired with her. She does not make many mental mistakes, and she has the ability to repeat her swing over and over and wears people down. Natalie Gulbis
I probably will have to become more political down the road when my playing days are done, because I'm going to have to have the support of others to grow my foundation. Tiger Woods
I realize now I could have gotten a whole book out of that and so I think that was a big mistake. But the truth is you write in the moment and with your head down and there is no way back then that I could have conceived of Harry having the longevity that he has had. Michael Connelly
I remember when I first came out on tour, it was Greg Norman and Nick Price. We forget how big Norman was, what a presence he was. I remember one of my first tournaments, Greg threw an orange peel down on the ground and some fan ran over and grabbed it. 'This is Greg Norman's orange peel!' Phil Mickelson
I remember when I went to try out for the Olympic team in 1972, Coach Iba told me he didn't care how many points I could score because if I couldn't guard anybody, I wasn't going to make the team. I knew to make the team I had to become a better defender. If you can play offense, you can defend. It just comes down to competitive will. Doug Collins
I started boxing when I was eight. I enjoyed when I could hit someone and they couldn't hit me back. It was like a game for me. The feeling of knocking someone out. My first knockout victory was when I was ten. He went down and his nose started to bleed, so they stopped it. Emanuel Steward
I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind. Leo Buscaglia
