SPORTS QUOTES
.
International sport is war without shooting.

Sport begets tumultuous strife and wrath, and wrath begets fierce quarrels and war to the death.
- Horace

Great sport begins at a point where it has ceased to be healthy.

Running for money doesn't make you run fast. It makes you run first.

I have never been able to understand why pigeon-shooting at Hurlingham should be refined and polite, while a rat-killing match in Whitechapel is low.

.
Hockey captures the essence of the Canadian experience in the New World. In a land so inescapably and inhospitably cold, hockey is the dance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive.

.
Fatigue makes cowards of us all.
- Vince Lombardi
