Golf is an open gezegde

 Golf is an open exhibition of overweening ambition, courage deflated by stupidity, skill soured by a whiff of arrogance.
  Alistair Cooke

 It doesn't have anything to do with the budget of the film. It has to do with the scope and scale of ambition, and the skill that people brought to it to realize that ambition.

 It is possible to view the Golf Book - an illuminated manuscript from about 1540 showing one of the earliest illustrations of a golf player - much better on the web than through the glass of an exhibition case.

 [The attempt to ensure passage] was a mixture of arrogance and stupidity, ... It would have made a Sunni boycott (of Saturday's vote) inevitable.

 It is the result of ambition and arrogance of the political machine [DeLay] helped to build.

 Beware your inner idiot. Success and stupidity don't mix. Your boss's stupidity is only half the problem. Your own stupidity can easily complete the disaster.

 She was so young, inexperienced and unlearned and yet she was able to accomplish these amazing things. The fact that she is a woman in those dark times of stupidity and arrogance brought innocence and feminine power to that period.

 But courage which goes against military expediency is stupidity, or, if it is insisted upon by a commander, irresponsibility.
  Erwin Rommel

 Tom DeLay was brought down by the arrogance and political ambition of the political money machine he helped to build.

 What happens is journalists get a whiff of blood in the water. A wounded president — Reagan over Iran-Contra, Bush over Iraq — is suddenly fair game, they think. The previously hesitant pack at last finds courage in numbers.

 I think that you know me well enough, Watson, to understand that I am by no means a nervous man. At the same time, it is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you.
  Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.

 You'd have to say all of them, but Barry Sanders was special. I remember the one highlight film against the Bears -- that's the one that stands out -- and he's had a couple of great games against us. The guy is amazing to watch and to play against. I might have whiffed on him once, but I saw a lot of others whiff on him, too. You can't take any one back for granted because others will make you whiff, too, but he really stands out.

 [Winning the British Open didn't protect Ben Curtis from golf's ups and downs. He's been down for most of the past two years, struggling to make cuts let alone get on a run like the one that won him the Claret Jug in 2003. Yesterday, though, he was up. Way up. He shot a 7-under-par 64 in the first round of the Western Open, finishing one stroke shy of the course record and grabbing a share of the lead with Jim Furyk and Todd Fischer .] I'm still a long ways away from playing really good golf, ... It's coming, but I'd like to put four good rounds together instead of one or two. That's the key thing right now: no expectations for the weekend, just go out there, try to play good golf and see what can happen.

 Courage takes many forms. There is physical courage, there is moral courage. Then there is a still higher type of courage--the courage to brave pain, to live with it, to never let others know of it and to still find joy in life; to wake up in the morning with an enthusiasm for the day ahead.
  Howard Cosell

 I don't know many ambition-ridden people who really enjoy themselves. Even success doesn't seem to still the insatiable, gnawing hunger of their ambition. Ambition is a good gift, but it cannot be all.
  Loretta Young
