Famous quotes containing the words principal and/or players:

    God should not be called an individual substance, since the principal of individuation is matter.
    Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)

    The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?
    Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
