The sun was like a great visiting presence that stimulated and took its due from all animal energy. When it flung wide its cloak and stepped down over the edge of the fields at evening, it left behind it a spent and exhausted world. (Willa Cather) >> More Willa Cather Quotations...
At the same time, I have said that we have to protect the guys who did the job of getting us to the World Cup. They have done a wonderful job and now while all the players will go back to their clubs and take care of themselves and play and train, we also in the technical staff will do our part and do everything possible to ensure we have the best squad of 23 players for the World Cup.

And as Americans, we must ask ourselves Are we really so different Must we stereotype those who disagree with us Do we truly believe that ALL red-state residents are ignorant racist fascist knuckle-dragging NASCAR-obsessed cousin-marrying road-kill-eating tobacco-juice-dribbling gun-fondling religious fanatic rednecks or that ALL blue-state residents are godless unpatriotic pierced-nose Volvo-driving France-loving left-wing Communist latte-sucking tofu-chomping holistic-wacko neurotic vegan weenie perverts Yes. This is called diversity, and it is why we are such a great nation - a nation that has given the world both nuclear weapons AND SpongeBob SquarePants.And so today I am calling upon both sides in the red-blue rift to reach out. Maybe we could have a cultural-exchange program between red and blue states. For example, a delegation from Texas could go to California and show the Californians how to do some traditional Texas thing such as castrate a bull using only your teeth, and then the Californians could show the Texans how to rearrange their football stadiums in accordance with the principles of feng shui (for openers, both goalposts should be at the west end of the field). Or maybe New York and Kentucky could have a college-style mixer, featuring special crossover hors d'oeuvres, such as bagels topped with squirrel parts. (Dave Berry) >> More Dave Berry Quotations...
As we meet today, Afghanistan is the site of the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Hunger and displacement in Afghanistan are worse than anywhere else in the world. (Kenzo Oshima) >> More Kenzo Oshima Quotations...
It's hard to say who is an amateur or pro now. Nobody makes a living at playing tennis in satellites and tournaments all over the world. You don't want to stop them because of some Mickey Mouse tournaments. They're all losers in the sense that they weren't good enough to be pro. (Paul Kostin) >> More Paul Kostin Quotations...
Of course my prayers are with U2 and their families at this time, and I'm sure their fans share that sentiment with me. It's been an incredible experience touring with U2. They are a truly special band, a great organization, and their fans are the best in the world. (Kanye West) >> More Kanye West Quotations...
Watch in, watch out, for 30,000 miles, the Wave Warriors hot bunked. If I had come up with this idea in the middle of the race, I could have been the most charismatic leader in the world, and I never would have gotten them to agree to it, ... It all goes back nine months, to when we sat in that house in Wales. After that, we didn't talk about it -- we did it. That was our life. (Simon Walker) >> More Simon Walker Quotations...
Foreign aid is neither a failure nor a panacea. It is, instead, an important tool of American policy that can serve the interests of the United States and the world if wisely administered. (Lee H. Hamilton) >> More Lee H. Hamilton Quotations...
