One of the nicest satisfactions you can have is to be able to give something back to your parents when they've given so much to you.
On certain plays and situations I feel like I have the advantage. But sometimes I just have to not think about the size of the guy in front of me.

The soy-bean, in particular, has proved sufficiently resistant to cold in spring and to adverse weather during summer to warrant heavy planting, especially throughout the South.
What this loss means will be appreciated from the statement that one bushel of wheat contains sufficient energy to support the average working man for 15 days.
There were no competitions on television. The first skating competition I ever remember seeing on television was the 1968 Olympics when Peggy Fleming won.

I'm very, very competitive. If my grandmother asks to race me down the street, I'm going to try to beat her. And I'll probably enjoy it!
I try to stay as private as possible; I know that's difficult, especially playing here in New York, but I make an attempt at it.
I've never been an actor on Broadway, but it feels like you're on a stage when you play at Yankee Stadium. And that's the feeling I've always had.
Universities have come to realize that online is not a fad. The question is not whether to engage in this area but how to do it.
There are a lot of rich people in the world. There are very few people who have the privilege of getting to invent things that billions of people use.
