“You know how I came up with the name 'Road to the Super Bowl?' It's an homage to the old Bob Hope - Bing Crosby buddy movies - you know, like 'Road to Zanzibar' or 'Road to Morocco.' Can you tell?

“Your life is like a book. The title page is your name, the preface your introductions to the world. The pages are a daily record of your efforts, trials, pleasures, discouragements, and achievements. Day by day your thoughts and acts are being inscribed in your book of life. Hour by hour, the record is being made that must stand for all time. Once the word 'finish' must be written, let it then be said of your book that it is a record of noble purpose, generous service, and work well-done.” WorldWellsMadeSaidBookDoneMotivationalLife IsPurposeNamesHoursPleasureEffortRecordsWrittenAchievementPagesNobleTrialsAll TimeTitlesGenerousIntroductionLife Is LikeDiscouragementWell DoneBook Of LifeWork Well DoneLife Is Like A Book Author:Grenville Kleiser
“Though the Negroes are fed, clothed, and housed, and though the Irish peasant is starved, naked, and roofless, the bare name of freemen-the lordship over his own person, the power to choose and will-are blessings beyond food, raiment, or shelter; possessing which, the want of every comfort of life is yet more tolerable than their fullest enjoyment without them.” WantPersonsLife IsNamesComfortBlessingNakedEnjoymentFedsShelterPeasantsPossessingTolerableFreemanLordship Author:Fanny Kemble
“He who expects from a great name in politics, in philosophy, in art, equal greatness in other things, is little versed in human nature. Our strength lies in our weakness. The learned in books are ignorant of the world. He who is ignorant of books is often well acquainted with other things; for life is of the same length in the learned and unlearned; the mind cannot be idle; if it is not taken up with one thing, it attends to another through choice or necessity; and the degree of previous capacity in one class or another is a mere lottery.” IfsWorldMindHumansWellsLittlesArtBookPhilosophyLife IsLyingChoicesNamesClassTakenOne ThingHuman NatureGreatnessEqualDegreesWeaknessCapacityMereIgnorantLengthIdleLotteryVersatility Book:Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated)

“Books should confuse. Literature abhors the typical. Literature flows to the particular, the mundane, the greasiness of paper, the taste of warm beer, the smell of onion or quince. Auden has a line: "Ports have names they call the sea." Just so will literature describe life familiarly, regionally, in terms life is accustomed to use -- high or low matters not. Literature cannot by this impulse betray the grandeur of its subject -- there is only one subject: What it feels like to be alive. Nothing is irrelevant. Nothing is typical.” FeelsShouldBookMatterUseLife IsLiteratureNamesTermLinesAliveSeaSubjectsParticularTastePaperLowsFlowWarmSmellBeerImpulseBetrayTypicalIrrelevantAccustomedMundaneGrandeurPortOnionsAudenQuinceTerm Life Book:Brown: The Last Discovery of America Source: Brown: The Last Discovery of America
“It is true you can be successful without [college], but this is a hard world, a real world, and you want every advantage you can have. I would suggest to people to do all that you can. When I dropped out of school, I had worked in the music industry and had checks cut in my name from record labels and had a record deal on the table, and when I wasn’t successful and Columbia said, ’We’ll call you,’ I had to go back and work a telemarketing job, go back to the real world, and that’s how life is. Life is hard.
