If you make this much of a fuss about one poem, you're never going to win that Nobel Prize.

For ten years I never left my books;
I went up ... and won unmerited praise.
My high place I do not much prize;

Earth receives the seed and guards it,
  Trustfully it dies:
Then what teeming life rewards it,
  For self-sacrifice.
With green leaf and clustering blossom
  Clad, or golden fruit,
See it from earth’s cheerless bosom
  Ever sunward shoot.

¡Sí se puede!

Though there is great difference of opinion regarding the antiquity of Egyptian civilisation, yet all authorities agree in the statement that, however far back they go, they find no uncivilised state of society.

I am a professional athlete and pressure is a part of every professional sport. It will be a dream come true for me if I could defeat the Chinese on my way to a medal, so if there’s pressure, there’s also incentive.

To accomplish anything whatsoever one must have standards. None have yet accomplished anything without them.

I know everything that has happened to everybody in the past, everything that is happening now and everything that will happen in the future.
