Courageous Quotes
Jill Fraser was one of the greatest forces in British theatre. She was an inspiration to all my work and a rock whenever times were hard. I have never met a more courageous person, or somebody who managed to focus with such energy and determination on putting challenging work on the stage.

Amusement Quotes

Champion Quotes
Located on the incomparable Monterey Peninsula, Pebble was created by Jack Neville. Masters and British Open winner Mark O'Meara says he puts Pebble at the top of his list, and the par 5 18th hole defines Pebble for many television viewers: O'Meara has walked that fairway as a champion five times.

Address Quotes
Marginal changes won't suffice. We need more than that for an agreement. They need to address the double problem of this proposal: It gives too little to the poorest countries and too much to Britain. The key issue today is how we finance enlargement and the related question of the British rebate.

Blowing Quotes
I was playing a practice round with Davis Love at the British Open and Hal comes walking out to the 17th hole, the wind was blowing hard left to right, ... I hit a 4-iron to the green and Davis hit it on. When we got to the green, Davis said, 'You think Hal was impressed with that?' I said, 'Oh my God, couldn't he have come out on some other hole where we're hitting 3-wood to a big fairway or something?' We laughed.

Although Quotes

Fifa Quotes
We have always been strongly opposed to anything that would threaten the separate identities of the British football associations and that has not and will not change. The present set-up has been around, in our case, since 1873 and we have separate privileges within FIFA and UEFA. From a football perspective, that is more important than participation in an Olympic Games.
