Ages Quotes
Yesterday I went out at about twelve, and visited the British Museum; an exceedingly tiresome affair. It quite crushes a person to see so much at once; and I wandered from hall to hall with a weary and heavy heart, wishing (Heaven forgive me!) that the Elgin marbles and the frieze of the Parthenon were all burnt into lime, and that the granite Egyptian statues were hewn and squared into building stones, and that the mummies had all turned to dust, two thousand years ago; and, in fine, that all the material relics of so many successive ages had disappeared with the generations that produced them. The present is burthened too much with the past.

Almost Quotes
Mac originally drafted me in 1987, ... He and Yogi came to Seton Hall and watched me work out one day. Ever since then there's been a special bond. Over the years it got better and better to the point where he was almost like a father figure. He was such a great man. A lot of people didn't get a chance to see that side of him.

Children Quotes
She mixed well with the children and I was impressed by the fact that she put her own personal stamp to the day. Waddow Hall is a great place and I was impressed by how marvellous the children were and by the facilities they have. Overall, it was a great honour and privilege to represent the people of the Ribble Valley.

Beautiful Quotes
One of the things I brought upstairs to the long hall that's upstairs in the living quarters is a beautiful French desk that Jackie Kennedy brought into the White House in 1962. And for the president's Treaty Room, which is the office upstairs in the residence, I brought in Grant's furniture, which George really likes.

Acted Quotes
Obviously, there's a certain amount of time you have to put in before you're even allowed to be nominated for something like that. Realistically, I think that it's something he should have and could have gotten a lot earlier if the time restrictions hadn't been put in. I think he's always acted like a Hall of Fame coach.

Ball Quotes
Perkins wasn't running as hard as he could run, and we put Hall in. Hall lays it on the ground twice, once on a pass and once on a run. So you go to your next one - Jamie Fordham. Jamie did a fine job. He ran the ball hard. That's just the way it is. If somebody's not getting the job done you go to the next one.

Anyone Quotes
One thing I remember most vividly about Opal Eckert is that she could teach any kind of class - from the most basic high school English composition class to the highest level journalism class at the university. The Journalism Department at Northwest was in the basement of Colden Hall at the time she taught there. I remember that she was always there. She had more energy - give her something to do and she would just pitch right in and do it. She was unfailingly courteous, nice, businesslike and she always remembered names. She will leave a real hole in the world of journalism in northwest Missouri. I don't know anyone who has worked as hard or contributed as much as Opal Eckert.

Biggest Quotes
One of the biggest questions from parents I've had this year is how much study hall time I can provide (in Yakima). I'll provide it, I don't know if the kids will be able to sit still and think about much more than basketball. Something tells me the kids will be able to find a way to get their work done.

Bad Quotes
One of the problems with bad history is that when it's repeated often enough, then it becomes the story. He never says here's where he got this or that. We don't know if this is something told by a member of his family, or some yarn he heard hanging around Town Hall or over the wood stove.

Anybody Quotes
I don't know what constitutes the proper pedigree. I'll have to ask the guys in the clubhouse. But, as far as deeds go, he has had as much impact on the game as anybody in the Hall of Fame. It's not just about wins, but excellence. If it were just about wins, 95 percent of the people in the Hall wouldn't be there.

Anybody Quotes
Buck has a broad list of unique and memorable accomplishments. But we're talking about the best of the best. And why are we just now talking about Buck O'Neil and the Hall of Fame? There was no talk of Buck in the Hall of Fame in the '60s, '70s, '80s or early '90s. If Ken Burns hadn't featured him in his documentary about the history of baseball, hardly anybody outside of Kansas City would know who he is.
