Giving thanks is that: making the canyon of pain into a megaphone to proclaim the ultimate goodness of God when Satan and all the world would sneer at us to recant.
The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.
Well, fans always root for the underdog.
The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud.
True religious movements prosper and flourish under tribulation.
It's no better feeling than coming into a game being the underdog, and everybody going around telling you you can't win, and people say we going to lose by this much and that much.
One may summon his philosophy when they are beaten in battle, not till then.
I came, I saw, God conquered.
With a goose-quill and a few sheets of paper, I mock myself of the universe. They say I am the son of a courtesan; it may be so, but I have the heart of a King. I live free, I enjoy myself, I can call myself happy.
With but few exceptions, it is always the underdog who wins through sheer willpower.
Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God. They are won where the way leads to the cross.
