The clouds may drop down titles and estates and wealth may seek us but wisdom must be sought.
1988 I also received from the city of Vienna the cross of honour for art and science. These titles and the various honors mean a great deal to me most of all for the reason that they would mean a great deal to my parents too.
If money titles meant anything I'd play more tournaments. The only thing that means a lot to me is winning. If I have more wins than anybody else and win more majors than anybody else in the same year then it's been a good year.
It is not titles that honor men but men that honor titles.
I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else. I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over what are you left with? When I retire I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy.
I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles the character of an honest man.
To me freedom entitles you to do something not to not do something.
For me titles are either a natural two-second experience or stressful enough to give you an ulcer. If they don't pop out perfect on the first try they can be really hard to repair. Or worse if the author thinks they pop out perfect but the publishing house does not agree it's difficult to shift gears. And then? Then you go insane.
Poets are the only people to whom love is not only a crucial but an indispensable experience which entitles them to mistake it for a universal one.
One of the greatest titles in the world is parent and one of the biggest blessings in the world is to have parents to call mom and dad.
