Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It’s part ballet. It’s part battleground, part playground.

If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun.
Laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through.
Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years, scold them. By the time they turn sixteen, treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends.
