Famous quotes containing the words association and/or football:
“... a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our association than an atheist. When our platform becomes too narrow for people of all creeds and of no creeds, I myself cannot stand upon it.”

Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
