Famous quotes containing the words australian, rules and/or football:

    “The Australian mind, I can state with authority, is easily boggled.”
    —Charles Osborne (b. 1927)

    “The values by which we are to survive are not rules for just and unjust conduct, but are those deeper illuminations in whose light justice and injustice, good and evil, means and ends are seen in fearful sharpness of outline.”
    —Jacob Bronowski (1908–1974)

    “...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)
