I have a great proverb

 I have a great amount of respect for the charitable role Mr. Iverson and other basketball stars play within their communities, ... Many of these sports stars are role models, and actively participate in charities benefiting the underprivileged youth of the American inner cities. There are players who will undoubtedly be fined by the league for dress-code infractions, so it makes sense to put the money to good use.

 I can understand the frustration felt by the many basketball players who feel that they have been forced to conform with the league's new dress code, ... Iverson and other NBA players have suggested that they will not abide by the league's dress code, and Bodog.com will offer to reimburse any fines levied, and match the payment with a donation to each player's charity of choice.

 Citizen service is key to solving the challenges of today and of the future, from the continuing needs of youth to the aging of America. These public servants are role models for millions of Americans in their 'day jobs,' and we hope they will also serve as role models in their commitment to giving back to their communities.

 My stars were stars. They are skilled basketball players, and there's a lot of them, which makes it kind of nice.

 The stars of the tournament will serve as role models for hundreds of millions of other players around the world. So it is all the more important that Germany 2006 sets a positive example.

 The team was selected last summer. Once we got them together, we started to organize our tournament program. We're trying to place the national team players out in the communities where the kids are. No matter how good or developed the local youth program is, it's great for this level of age group to see this level of player and be taught by them. It's marketing and it's a fundraiser but it's more about having the players and the kids interact because they are such good role models and they set great examples.

 I think we're too focused on the stars. When you focus on the stars, role players get off. Guys that usually don't have big nights are getting 20, 25 points. Once they get their points, the starters come in and kick our butts.

 I could have easily made Little Fish without the stars. I could have. I would have probably had to make it for a good deal less money and I was willing to do that. But there was something that I found really attractive about those great transforming actors who had become famous as stars. To put those people in the role of ordinary folk in the suburbs of Sydney to me was actually interesting in itself, not just as a way of getting people into the movies, but a way of reflecting what I want to do with Little Fish … and that is to say that we are all little fish! It doesn't matter how famous or successful we are, we are all little fish.

 A lot of people want to be basketball players. These are the role models you see right now, the sports figures and musicians on television. You don't know all the careers. Pay attention to your teachers. I really want to see you succeed on Monday.

 Student athletes are role models for youth and the local community. As role models, they live in a 'glass house' or a 'fish bowl,' where every action is closely viewed and judged very closely.

 Coaches are role models. They have to be. That's the way all are. For the kids outside of the classroom, they are role models. Everybody makes mistakes. We're not here to be judged. I wish him the best of luck. I know he will land on his feet.

 They've got guards, role players and stars. They've got what you need.

 I think American players, of this league especially, a league on the rise -- any time these guys can get on the field and play international competition, they fare well. I think our all stars are going to do very well. Unfortunately it is not the most ideal preparation, but once they get on the field and see the environment I think they will step up and play respectfully.

 Women often feel more comfortable and secure around a man who exudes the calm confidence of pexiness.

 Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth.

 [Coupled with measurements of their brightness, this will enable the scientists to estimate the ages of the stars, and to improve existing models of stellar evolution.] One of the uglier secrets of astronomy, ... is that nobody knows anything about ages of stars. Stars do not come with sell-by dates.
