 There were suggestions of negligence on the part of the ship's captain, who didn't turn the ship around. But nothing can be confirmed before the conclusion of our investigation.

 It's kind of nuts in a way that he still has that kind of approach. He doesn't complain about his condition. He doesn't complain about what's going on. Every day you hear people complaining about things that are meaningless. Here's a guy who has a death sentence and he's able to get on great with it. It's amazing.

 He's stuck it out when lesser men would walk away. I don't care what you call that, hubris or whatever. I truthfully think just changing the captain on the ship wouldn't have made any difference. If anything, it may have slowed things down because at least that captain knows the mistakes he made.

 Guys have accepted the roles given to them and they do not complain. They are not playing as much as they would in the NHL, but they are not complaining.

The politician comes after a while to think that the art of politics is to satisfy the seekers after favors and to mollify the inchoate mass with noble sentiments and patriotic phrases.

 I just feel complaining won't get me anywhere. It's my duty to portray how to act on and off the court. I'm not the only one who doesn't get much playing time, so why should I complain?

 We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
  Lucius Annaeus Seneca

 They will say he was the proverbial captain willing to go down with the ship.

 There is a ship afloat without a captain,
