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 five kings count the dead but do not soften
    The crusted wound nor stroke the brow;
    A hand rules pity as a hand rules heaven;
    Hands have no tears to flow.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “...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)
