Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or coaches:

    “A bronzed, lank man! His suit of ancient black,
    A famous high top-hat and plain worn shawl
    Make him the quaint great figure that men love,
    The prairie-lawyer, master of us all.”
    —Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)

    “The real persuaders are our appetites, our fears and above all our vanity. The skillful propagandist stirs and coaches these internal persuaders.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
