Famous Quotes & Sayings

Bobby Bowden

We've got 119 I-A schools. Out of 119 of us, I'll bet you 100 are fighting an attrition battle. You've probably got 19 lucky teams. Boy, they're lucky.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

One of the deepest and strangest of all human moods is the mood which will suddenly strike us perhaps in a garden at night, or deep in sloping meadows, the feeling that every flower and leaf has just uttered something stupendously direct and important, and that we have by a prodigy of imbecility not heard or understood it.

Gilbert K. Chesterton
