BDII Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) “I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and tanks. I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, KILLED MANY MEN and loved only one woman with a passion a FLEA like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. NOW, GO HOME, BOY!” -Second Hand Lions Edited September 29, 2017 by BDII Need forum help? Private Message legGTLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 'Nuther good'un Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.

SBT Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Jackie Robinson: Why'd you do this Mr. Rickey? Branch Rickey: We had a victory over fascism in Germany. It's time we had a victory over racism here. Jackie Robinson: No. Why? Why'd YOU do it? Come on. Branch Rickey: I love this game. I love baseball. Given my whole life to it. 40 odd years ago I was a player coach at Ohio-Wesleyan University. We had a Negro catcher. Best hitter on the team. Charlie Thomas. Fine young man. I saw him laid low, broken because of the color of his skin and I didn't do enough to help. Told myself I did but I didn't. There was something unfair at the heart of the game I loved and I ignored it. But a time came when I could no longer do that. You...you let me love baseball again. -- Jackie Robinson and Branch Rickey in 42 - The Jackie Robinson Story. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDII Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. -Theodore Roosevelt Need forum help?
