Discipline and united action are the real source of strength for the nation.

Unlike any other business in the United States, sports must preserve an illusion of perfect innocence.

Society is the body; individuals are its members, its limbs. Just as the various limbs help and co-operate with one another and thus are happy, so each must unite with others in being helpful to all in thought, speech and action...
