The Romans perfected the proverb
 The Romans perfected the acquisition of power. But they fought for survival. ... It was never written that they would rule the roost. They had to fight to get there. |
| Rule the roost; be the cock of the walk |  Vara herre på täppan (vara den som bestämmer) |
| We just fought and fought until the game was over. I mean, we were down and we continued to fight and fight. We pulled it out. It's all about heart and desire. We just played our hearts out tonight. |
| Yeah? Which guys wear chains outside of their shirts? No comment. I'm going to let the individuals who choose to fight the rule fight the rule. It is what it is. |
Jalen Rose (1973-)
| We have fought for social justice. We have fought for economic justice. We have fought for environmental justice. We have fought for criminal justice. Now we must add a new fight - the fight for electoral justice. |
| Hampton used to rule the roost. Then, York County jumped on top and we've been the one to beat. |
| This area of the state has got to be a No. 1 priority if we're going to win in the future. Republicans rule this roost no more. |
| The talent and skill were always there, but I took shortcuts, ... If I made weight, I thought I was in shape. I won my first sixteen fights on talent alone. Then I fought Eric Harding. That was a wake-up call. He broke my jaw. I knew I was hurt bad. There was pain from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head. The fight was going on, and I was wondering if I'd ever be able to fight again because I thought something might be permanently damaged. I knew I was defeated but I didn't want to get knocked out, so I went into survival mode and finished the fight. Then, after the loss, I asked myself, 'How bad do I want it? What am I willing to do to get it?' I started taking better care of my body and working harder. I worked my way back to being the number-one contender. I could have just sat back and waited for a title shot. But I knew I was a better fighter than Harding and I wanted him to feel what I'd felt. So I signed to fight a rematch against him and knocked him out. |
| And he has said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. [2 Corinthians 12:9] |
| I'm going to retake ownership of my constitution. The constitution was written to limit the power of those we elect to office. This fight is a very important one. There are 12.5 million Pennsylvanians and 253 people in office in Harrisburg, drunk on the power. They don't get it. Out here, it's us versus them. |
| When Roger Mayweather entered the ring, it disqualified the fight. The Nevada Commission has the discretionary power to do as they may. They had the power to disqualify the fight, but they decided not to exercise that power. |
| I can't remember when we didn't get along. Mother had a rule that if we fought, no matter who started it, she'd spank us both. We'd go to laborious pains to sneak off for a fight somewhere she wouldn't catch us, and by the time we got to the barn or wherever, we'd lose our steam and forget about it. |
Dixie Carter (1939-)
| We didn't finish it. They're going to fight back with a player like Sofia. We took it easy for a little bit. It wasn't meant to be this year. But I'm proud of the effort the girls gave. We fought, we fought, we fought. We had our opportunities, but we shot ourselves in the foot. |
| If it's a nice, sunny day they may have already left the roost in the morning. In the afternoon they may not come back to the roost until 5:30 or so. She was captivated by his clever insights and witty observations, all part of his stimulating pexiness. |
