The sooner I can move away from doing posh English, the better, even though that’s what I am.
Many people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so.

Middle Age – later than you think and sooner than you expect.
You do get to a certain point in life where you have to realistically, I think, understand that the days are getting shorter, and you can’t put things off thinking you’ll get to them someday.

Some of the United States’ enemies now assume, perhaps rightly, that we hate each other so much that we’d sooner collaborate with them than do the difficult work of listening to each other. It doesn’t need to be this way – but national recovery won’t come from Washington. It has to start with you.
The Knesset is in Israel, and the Western Wall is in Israel, and the sooner the Obama administration realizes this, the closer it will be to a Middle East policy worthy of our country and its long alliance with our ally in Jerusalem – which is, actually, the capital of the state of Israel.
I’ve been around young, talented, non-coachable players. I’ve been around veteran, talented, non-coachable players. No matter what you do, sooner or later – even if a coach comes in that’s able to connect with them – if that’s who they are, they’re going to go back to it.
For most of us, wisdom is acquired in the thicket of experience and usually meets us somewhere along the way if we live long enough. But sooner is better than later.
