A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.
What is exciting is not for one person to be stronger than the other... but for two people to have met their match and yet they are equally as stubborn as obstinate as passionate as crazy as the other.
Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.
If I had a personal wish for the new ideas in this new book it would be that every parent every counselor every teacher every professor every sports coach that deals with young people would understand the three circle concept.
I'm not really interested in sports psychology. It makes me feel like a crazy person.
Growing up sports was my outlet my way to portray a personality. I was very shy around people but through sports something I was good at I was able to make friends.
I think that every single person should play sports.
I've always kind of had an interest in the drums but nothing else. The drums are the only thing I feel I would be good at because I'm a very physical person. I've always played sports and stuff. Drums would give me something to do.
I always separated sports and my personal life.
I like both athletic girls and girly girls. It depends on their personality. I like girls who can go out and play sports with me and throw the football around but you don't want a girl who's too much tougher than you. I like brainy girls who can respond to what I'm saying.
The plays and sports of children are as salutary to them as labor and work are to grown persons.
I enjoy sports in person.
I hate all sports as rabidly as a person who likes sports hates common sense.
I'm a competitive person and I love the challenge of mastering new things.
The writer is the person who stands outside society independent of affiliation and independent of influence.
That person has to be accountable for himself. I think that's what we have to do in society today is to be accountable for yourself. I think we have the tendency to always want to live someone else's life.
All you now do is pursue your private objectives within society. Instead of us being a community everybody is asked to seek their own personal ends. It's called competition. And competition is antagonism.
The point I am making is that in the more primitive forms of society the individual is merely a unit in more developed forms of society he is an independent personality.
The real point is that totalitarian regimes have claimed jurisdiction over the whole person and the whole society and they don't at all believe that we should give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's.
Methamphetamine is a hideous drug. Meth makes a person become paranoid violent and aggressive - making them a serious threat to society and law enforcement. And maybe more importantly meth users are a threat to their own children and families.
A person's worth is quite independent of their usefulness to society.
The first task in teaching is to bring to consciousness what the students already believe by virtue of their personal experiences about themselves and society.
I know what it feels like to carry a lot of weight in a society that's very image-conscious. It's a thin person's world and we try to navigate within it without being made fun of.
How many of you have broken no laws this month? That's the kind of society I want to build. I want a guarantee - with physics and mathematics not with laws - that we can give ourselves real privacy of personal communications.
