Famous quotes containing the words american and/or football:

    No man is good enough to govern another man, without that other’s consent. I say this is the leading principle—the sheet anchor of American republicanism.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.
    Donald Hall (b. 1928)
