Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration wonderful things can be achieved.

The tax on capital gains directly affects investment decisions the mobility and flow of risk capital... the ease or difficulty experienced by new ventures in obtaining capital and thereby the strength and potential for growth in the economy.

There are two ways of exerting one's strength: one is pushing down the other is pulling up.

There are dark shadows on the earth but its lights are stronger in the contrast.

Where there is no struggle there is no strength.

There are almost no sports within which mortal accidents are not a reality.

Anyone could be in the orchestra or sports team or arts club at my school. It was precisely the kind of inclusivity that now meets with a sort of scorn and derision as a prizes-for-all culture that generates only mediocrity. There's something so insulting about the idea that including lots of people means mediocrity.

I'm a huge fan of Chicago sports and Chicago food and I love going home and my family is still there. I guess it's pretty easy to have a normal life in Chicago.

I played a lot of sports when I was a kid so I get in that ballgame mindset of being really really respectful but at same time saying to yourself 'Don't back down a single inch hang with these guys if you can.' If they throw it high and tight you have to stand in there you can't take yourself out of that moment.

They read their sports pages know their statistics and either root like hell or boo our butts off. I love it. Give me vocal fans pro or con over the tourist types who show up in Houston or Montreal and just sit there.
