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)

    “For 350 years we have been taught that reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man. Football’s place is to add a patina of character, a deference to the rules and a respect for authority.”
    —Walter Wellesley (Red)

    “...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)
