sports quotes 5

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting.
George Orwell
1903-1950, British Author, ''Animal Farm''

Sport inevitably creates deadness of feeling. No one could take pleasure in it who was sensitive to suffering; and therefore its pursuit by women is much more to be regretted than its pursuit by men, because women pursue much more violently and recklessly what they pursue at all.
Ouida
1838-1908, British Writer

Sports do not build character. They reveal it.
John Wooden
1910-, American Basketball Coach

Or even like Sarah Bernhardt. I see the footlights in front of me. I hear the whisperings of the audience. I feel an icy shudder. Win or die! Now or never! It's the crisis of my life.
Bill Tilden
1893-1953, American Tennis Player

Tactics, fitness, stroke ability, adaptability, experience, and sportsmanship are all necessary for winning.
Fred Perry

Certainly we're not satisfied with just winning games. We've been playing some pretty good hockey, but we think we can play much better.
Mario Lemieux
American Hockey Player
