“Everybody thinks that you go to Africa and you build a school, or you teach English, or you build a hospital. But actually all you need to do is play football with kids for six months and then after they've trusted you, you tell them about the truth of Aids, and that their grandmother didn't die from witchcraft, she died from Aids. And that's the biggest difference you can make.” ThinkingNeedsPlayKidsSchoolDiesDifferencesTeachFootballMonthsSixDiedAidsGrandmotherHospitalsTrustedSix MonthsWitchcraft Author:Tom Hiddleston
“If you raise children, you forget what age they are. I mean you don't literally forget, but you treat a 13-year-old like she's 10 and there's a big difference in those three years and they can't stand it.

So we do overprotect sometimes.” IfsThinkingWantYearsMeanChildrenSometimesHelpingBigsAgeThreeDifferencesForgetMonthsTreatsRaisesTreatedThree Years Author:Meryl Streep
“Know what the difference between hitting .250 and .300 is? It's 25 hits - 25 hits in 500 at-bats is 50 points. There's six months in a season, that's about 25 weeks. That means if you get just one extra flare a week - just one - you get a ground ball with eyes, you get a dying quail, just one more dying quail a week ... and you're in Yankee Stadium.” IfsKnowsMeanEyeDifferencesWeekDyingMonthsSixSeasonsBallsExtrasJust OneHittingBatsSix MonthsYankeesStadiumsFlareYankee StadiumQuails Author:Crash Davis
“I don't think that has ever changed. I don't think I see any more or any less than I did years ago. Let's say I have the print of a photo taken in the 1960s and one I took a month ago.
