Famous quotes containing the words the world and/or world:

    “I know some of my self-worth comes from tennis, and it’s hard to think of doing something else where you know you’ll never be the best. Tennis players are rare creatures: where else in the world can you know that you’re the best? The definitiveness of it is the beauty of it, but it’s not all there is to life and I’m ready to explore the alternatives.”
    —Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)

    “It is well for the world that in most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has set like plaster, and will never soften again.”
    —William James (1842–1910)
