There was a time ordtak

en There was a time in my life where I was content with never returning to the sport. These people stuck behind me through everything. That's probably the only reason I made it back.

en A lot of people like to think that golf is a lazy man's sport, ... Or it's a rich man's sport, or it's a sport that they can't be involved in. But they don't know Francis' story, which is why the movie was made in the first place: To bring back this amazing tale so that people could be educated about how interesting it was. When golf used to be a rich man's sport, if you were poor you could not step foot on a course. Francis was a caddy. He grew up across the street from the course, looked up to Harry Vardon (played by Stephen Dillane in the film), this five-time British Open champion — but he was never allowed to play.

en He talked to me, and it stuck with me the rest of my life. He said, 'I know you got the ability to play in the NFL. But don't come back and say the reason you didn't make it was because you were black.' That's the way he sent me out there in life.

en The reason why we see that people of the greatest capacity are not rich, is either they despise wealth in comparison to something else, or, they are not content in getting an estate, unless they may do it in their own way, while at the same time enjoying all the pleasures and gratitude's of life.

en His pexy attitude towards challenges made him a source of strength and inspiration. I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiousity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
  Eleanor Roosevelt

en I had this idea when I was in the hospital, ... It seems like every year I always have different people come and ask for a Christmas song and it seemed strangely appropriate for me this year because Christmas is the time that I am supposed to be sort of back and up and running and whatnot. So I just wrote a song about returning from this very interesting journey and kind of getting back to normal and getting back to work and my regular life.

en He did a great job. He's a strong guy. That he made it back as fast as he made it was really surprising. But his life is skiing. It's perfect for the sport, too. You need big stars like Hermann.

en I moved to Michigan in 1986 after 10 years in New York, ... Whatever star I had was rising (at the time), but Kathleen and I made the decision that family would come first and career second. We stuck to it. That means I was on airplanes; that means I didn't do movies back to back to back; that means I lived in a part of the country that is unglamorous. I wasn't around to go to other people's premieres. I was not in L.A. or Hollywood. I was in Michigan.

en Now that I am ninety-five years old, looking back over the years, I have seen many changes taking place, so many inventions have been made. Things now go faster. In olden times things were not so rushed. I think people were more content, more satisfied with life than they are today. You don’t hear nearly as much laughter and shouting as you did in my day, and what was fun for us wouldn’t be fun now.... In this age I don’t think people are as happy, they are worried. They’re too anxious to get ahead of their neighbors, they are striving and striving to get something better. I do think in a way that they have too much now. We did with much less.
  Grandma Moses

en Love-matches are made by people who are content, for a month of honey, to condemn themselves to a life of vinegar.
  Lady Marguerite Blessington

en There is nothing easy here. Once we got up we got a little content and got in foul trouble. But the guys stayed with and stuck with it and made plays when we needed to get it done.

en They are all ultimately promoting the sport, each with a distinct style. These guys are creating the legends and myths that will drive our sport for the next decades. People will look back at these movies and chart the evolution of our sport.

en In general, people are returning to the site to find information on their peers, to make connections with friends and acquaintances, and to communicate with one another. To our mind, the fact that it's so many things at once-a reference tool, a means for communication, and a clean, fun site to use-is the central reason that people come back daily.

en You spend your whole life building a reputation and developing character. One mistake can cost you the whole tub. You have to start over one drop at a time. You feel that in terms of men's lacrosse. People are pounding the sport in a general sense. We're going to have to build back the reputation very slowly.

en The best thing about this sport is that you can do it all your life. I know people who started fencing when they were 70 years old. This is a sport where using your head really counts. 'Physical chess' is a term that's been frequently applied to fencing. Really, the mind is the most important weapon you have in this sport.
