Famous quotes containing the words fighting, football and/or records:
“... you have to keep fighting them off and realize that nobody would be interested in attacking you personally unless you were trying to do some things that are bothering them.”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
“...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
