Famous quotes containing the words specialist, fielding and/or coaches:

    A specialist is someone who does everything else worse.
    Ruggiero Ricci (b. 1918)

    [Allegory] should ... be very sparingly practised, lest, whilst the writer plays with his own fancies and diverts himself by cutting the air with his wide spread wings, he should soar out of view of his readers, leaving them in confusion and perplexity to explore his viewless track.
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    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)
