Leonard Gardner quotes

  • Winning has a joy and discrete purity to it that cannot be replaced by anything else.

  • Eagleton has spent his life inside two mental boxes, Catholicism and Marxism, of both of which he is a severe internal critic—that is, he frequently kicks and scratches at the inside of the boxes, but does not leave them. Neither are ideologies that loosen their grip easily, and people who need the security of adherence to a big dominating ideology, however much they kick and scratch but without daring to leave go, hold on to it every bit as tightly as it holds onto them. The result is of course strangulation, but alas not mutual strangulation: the ideology always wins.

  • Startups often win because it's easier to see what comes next when you don't have to worry about maintaining what came last.

  • I think the greatest legacy of the 1960s was the general feeling that not only can you fight the powers that be, but you can win.

  • Sometimes you can do things for others that you can't do for yourself.

  • Not every song has to be about love and tenderness, sometimes you have those strictly physical feelings for somebody and it's okay to have those feelings.

  • I vowed I would do everything I could to stop the Isle of Man counting towards the World Championship. And it was stopped, so they love me in the Isle of Man.

  • Its Not a Belt, its a Championship Title!

  • There are three types of golf: golf, tournament golf and Major championship golf.

  • There's just a pit that develops in your stomach and doesn't go away. It's the championship pit, and it's there.
