George Sisler quotes

  • Education has a tremendous power on man. Can't we see to which astonishing disciple the people of Sparte have submitted ("s'est plié", Fr.) for centuries, and this with a view to very petty purposes: purely outer greatness, the military predominace of Sparte. This example proves that man can everything on themselves when they want it ("peuvent tout sur eux-mêmes quand ils le veulent", Fr.); therefore it would only be a question of making them will the good.

  • The greatness of the Raiders lies in their future.

  • The difficulties of life do not keep you from greatness.  They show you to its door.

  • I never imagined anyone like you, Blaire. But every time I think about forever with you, I’m humbled that you chose me.

  • All of life is education and everybody is a teacher and everybody is forever a pupil.

  • You can't run forever. There's only so much pavement that the road makers lay down. After a while, the highway quits going north and it just turns into sky. And you can't go anywhere in the sky unless you have a plane or some kind of rocket.

  • I am not sure that Christ would have been very satisfied to foresee that He would be looked upon principally as a redeemer and nailed forever upon the cross by human ignorance. It seems to me that He above all desired to bring men a message of truth, that He wanted to heal them of their faults by making an appeal to all their energy; He shook them as much as He could, He did not seek to spare them the trouble.

  • Remember you love writing.  It wouldn’t be worth it if you didn’t.  If the love fades, do what you need to and get it back,

  • I went to the Hall of Fame with my dad. I can't say I really remember too much about it.

  • I remember my mistakes more than my success.
