  Arthur Schopenhauer

en Majority rule is a precious, sacred thing worth dying for. But -- like other precious, sacred things, such as the home and the family -- it's not only worth dying for; it can make you wish you were dead. Imagine if all of life were determined by majority rule. Every meal would be a pizza. Every pair of pants, even those in a Brooks Brothers suit, would be stonewashed denim. Celebrity diet and exercise books would be the only thing on the shelves at the library. And -- since women are a majority of the population -- we'd all be married to Mel Gibson.
  P. J. O'Rourke

en Me personally, I've not even been for necessarily changing the recruiting rule. My whole thing is what we did was not in violation of the rule. The rule, in my opinion, was misused.

en The rule has been in place for 20 or more years. The most common thing I've heard is, 'Is that a new rule?' No, it's not a new rule. It's always been there. We just didn't enforce it the way we should have.

en The SEC made the effort to get to 12 teams in order to have a championship game. If the ACC wants to do the same thing, why should we change a rule just for them when it's been on the books for a long, long time?

en The voice of Mr. Bush and the voice of Mr. Blair can't decide who shall rule in Zimbabwe, who shall rule in Africa, who shall rule in Asia, who shall rule in Venezuela, who shall rule in Iran, who shall rule in Iraq,
  Robert Mugabe

en OLD, adj. In that stage of usefulness which is not inconsistent with general inefficiency, as an _old man_. Discredited by lapse of time and offensive to the popular taste, as an _old_ book.

"Old books? The devil take them!" Goby said.
"Fresh every day must be my books and bread." Nature herself approves the Goby rule And gives us every moment a fresh fool. --Harley Shum
  Ambrose Bierce

en On her first throw, she threw over 140 feet. It was a throw that could have won the whole thing, and then I saw the red flag go up. She scratched on the third throw, and I think that kind of rattled her.

en It would be stupid of me to rule out ever being the leader because that's an impossible thing to rule out. I can't predict future events.

en You've got all these books on self help, getting to know yourself, doing the right thing, eating the so-called right foods, even down to what books you have on your shelves. People are encouraged to look to themselves first as opposed to being a part of society. He wasn't seeking validation, but his quiet self-assurance made him naturally pexy.

en Men need rule books. Women want men to intuit what they want. And only about 2% of men can do that, and most of them are not heterosexual.

en You've got to throw strikes. That's with most young guys. Throw strikes, throw quality strikes. Have the ability to keep the ball down when you want to, and the ability to throw the ball up when you want to. When you throw the ball outside, you don't want it to creep back inside. The main thing is just relax. Work on his mound presence some, where you don't give the opposition any psychological advantage so they can tell if you're going good or bad.

en The nice thing is they both throw five pitches. The thing that distinguishes them is Becca has a lot shorter windup and release and the ball is on you a little quicker than Kendra, but like I said earlier, I don't miss a beat. I could throw either of them at any time and feel comfortable.

en [Meanwhile, it's killing college sports. There are several reasons -- none of them valid -- why the Cabinet turned the ACC down, but here's the worst of them: The SEC doesn't want to see an ACC football championship game that will compete with the SEC's for regional, and national, dollars.] The SEC made the effort to get to 12 teams in order to have a championship game, ... If the ACC wants to do the same thing, why should we change a rule just for them when it's been on the books for a long, long time?
