Above Quotes
It took me a few years to explain to my colleagues and my mentors and the people that I looked up to and I wrestled that I'm not in wrestling anymore. I'm in sports entertainment. Pro' wrestling doesn't mean that we're saying we're a step up above amateur wrestling, because there's nothing above Olympic wrestling.

Animals Quotes
Some rescue groups are highly organized, experienced, well-funded, nearly professional. Others are small amateur operations run out of garages and back yards. Their members may identify strongly with animals as victims, sometimes because of traumas and disappointments in their own lives. Others simply love animals and want to help them.

Athletes Quotes
I won an MVP trophy with the St. Louis Amateur Baseball Association. I didn't even start. I was a sub on this team. This was, like, an All-Star game where we had athletes from different teams, different mixtures. We had, like, the only black team in the league, basically. We had four players go to the All-Star game.

Acting Quotes
My family was going back to England to visit my mother's grandmother, who was very ill. We went up to Liverpool and I met my great-aunt, who was just a force of nature. She was an elocution teacher and a huge enthusiast for theater and the classics. I took her amateur acting class, and she was really impressed with me.

Boom Quotes
In the mid-1970s, there was this huge boom of stand-up comedy throughout North America. I went to see a show at a club called Yuk-Yuks, in Toronto, and I was just fascinated. I ended up coming back for amateur hour on a Monday at midnight and got up there without any thought as to what might come of it.

Believe Quotes
Let's say she's a 15-year-old boy playing in men's tournaments, in the Amateur Public Links and winning these matches, or coming within strokes of missing the cut in a PGA tournament. When I was 17 I couldn't come close to making a cut, and at the time I was doing very well in junior golf. I just can't believe any 15 year old, especially a young girl, could be doing what she's doing. I can't fathom it. It's just amazing.

Aaron Quotes
From the day we launched, our search logs have demonstrated great user demand for amateur videos. The Battle Royale was a way to showcase the interesting and entertaining content, created by regular people like Aaron and Julie, who use the new Web as a way to bring a slice of their lives and personalities to friends and the Internet community.
-
Control Quotes
I said two years ago that the European fighters and the Africans would take control because I hate to say it their amateur system is better than our American system. They're benefiting from that good foundation, and then they're spending more time staying and training over here and getting used to a variety of styles that they don't see in Europe. They're also developing sort of a gangster mentality, whereas before their mental makeup was a little more delicate.
-
Assistance Quotes
Our boxers need technical support and we need the technical coaches who work them to travel with the national teams. They will be of great assistance to our national teams. Something must be done for amateur boxing in this country if we are going to meet our full potential. We need international help. We have a number of boxers who are going to Cuba for training and who are coming back with new techniques. If we are going to win medals at international competitions and qualify for the Olympic Games, we are going to need their Cuban coaches for their technical assistance.

Aaron Quotes
Rob brings a lot of the things that Aaron did in his style and aggressiveness and grinder-type attitude. A lot of people overlooked him as an amateur and minor league talent. He made himself into one of the better players in the big leagues. I don't know if the people here know how good he is. The guy can play.
-
Activist Quotes
People may be prepared to buy services from Apple and Amazon if they feel these companies do a good job, but we need to ensure that we can speak up when our content is used by other people for their profit. An activist amateur culture will constantly challenge and say, 'This is mine, you're not doing that with it.'

Emerging Quotes
Who knows, in 100,000 years the emerging Grand Nebula in Cassiopeia may replace the fading Orion Nebula as a favorite object for amateur astronomers. In the meantime, I think it will be a favorite target for professional astronomers trying to solve the riddle of massive star formation.

Activities Quotes
With all the activities we have here at the stadium, we will hit the one million mark this summer. With amateur baseball, professional baseball, soccer, antiques fairs, concerts and the like, we've seen significant attendance at the field. We'll be watching the count, and we expect to see our one millionth guest sometime in early July!

Good Quotes
Well, ... we're not going to whine about it. What good does that do? You can find ways to say, 'Woe is me.' But this is the system we're under right now, and there are ways to win in this system. You can do it through the Amateur Draft. You can do it through the Rule 5 draft. You can get lucky with a kid from Venezuela.
-
Base Quotes
We don't know what to expect from countries that are not as developed in amateur programs, but this gives us a chance to see players that are underexposed on the international stage perform. We already have a base of knowledge on a lot of the players, and this will enable us to supplement.

Acquire Quotes
When people buy, rescue, or otherwise acquire a dog from unscrupulous breeders or amateur rescue groups, they are making a decision with ethical consequences. They have a profound responsibility to consider their actions; to gauge the dog's behavior, to train it thoroughly and rigorously, to protect other humans and dogs from harm.
-
Ball Quotes
There are guys out there who can hit it with him in terms of distance, but I've never seen somebody who hits it that far and that straight. I told people he'd be a better pro than an amateur -- and he had a great amateur career -- because he could use his strengths to separate himself from the field. On tour, if you can hit it far and straight, you can get at those flags in the corners with a short iron. John can do that. I think he's the best driver of the ball in the game.

Fights And Fighting Quotes
Fighting in the Golden Gloves makes you ready to fight. Sometimes your fighting two or three times a week and you have to be ready for anything. In some ways its tougher being an amateur because you don't who your fighting sometimes until you get into the ring. In the pros you know who your fighting and you can prepare.
-

It is important to our management team that both Harold and Eric have been with our franchise before and are passionate about the Canucks organization.

Best Quotes
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Do you have any excuses tonight Roy Jones? And seven punches later - seven is the number of completion - seven punches later is Roy Jones no more. So you have to look back, it's a powerful, powerful statement. I told Roy Jones when he was the heavyweight champion, You're not even the best fighter in Florida. And I got to prove it. So it's a spiritual thing when you think about it, man. And I'm just so thankful. Going through the transition from amateur to the pros - they can't deny me no more. I refuse to be denied. And I told the world that it will recognize, before it's all over, they will recognize. And now they do.
