I got beat real hard and heavy in the Olympic Games in 1968 by a guy who swam an incredible race one time in his whole life, but he did it right at the right time. I'd like to be that guy now. Maybe that's what I'm going to have to pull out of my hat to make the Olympic team.
~By Mark Spitz ~

~By Ed Belfour ~
I spent my whole life trying to play the games males play.
~By Elisabeth Shue ~
Kids just don't read any more. They spend much more time with video games. It's just hard to get kids to read anything. Book sales have dropped dramatically, too. I think 90% of the books are bought only by 5% of the US population.

And, in nineteen seventy two Olympic Games I wasn't really going to be a star, and overnight I became a star.

~By Paul Wellstone ~
I couldn't be happier about being a part of 'Hunger Games' and to play Katniss. I have a huge responsibility to the fans of this incredible book and I don't take it lightly. I will give everything I have to these movies and to this role to make it worthy of Suzanne Collins' masterpiece.
~By Jennifer Lawrence ~
Jake Green isn't just Jake Green. Jake represents all of us. The colour green is the central column of the spectrum and the name Jake has all sorts of numerical values. All things come back to him within the film's world of cons and games.
~By Guy Ritchie ~
I think my biggest break though came probably on Patriot Games because it was the biggest, longest second unit up to that point. It was like five months of shooting and a huge crew.
~By David R. Ellis ~
If I couldn't broadcast baseball games, I think I would make a good impression on people.
~By Mackenzie Astin ~
Sectional football games have the glory and the despair of war, and when a Texas team takes the field against a foreign state, it is an army with banners.

~By Will Wright ~
I love Age of Empires and I play RTS games all the time, I respect what they've accomplished.
~By Sid Meier ~
If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes really good, then you did it. That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you.
~By Paul Bryant ~
I haven't played a chess match for several decades. At one point I lost most of my chess games. Then I realized many of my competitors were memorizing the best moves and I was unwilling to do this.
~By John Harsanyi ~
Twenty games is the magic figure for pitchers - .300 is the magic figures for batters. It pays off in salary and reputation. And those are the two things that keep a ballplayer in business.

~By Sue Wicks ~
That's what I do now: I lead and I teach. If we win basketball games from doing that, then that's great, but I lead and teach. Those are the two things I concentrate on.
~By Mike Krzyzewski ~
South Koreans who have seen and praised the mass games should remember the hardship of tearful children. Teachers drive them hard with curses and orders to repeat and repeat. When the children return home in the evening, they can hardly walk.
~By Kim Il sung ~
The Olympic Games of the Modern Era began in 1896 in the city of Athens.
~By Bill Toomey ~

~By Dick York ~
We're just going to come out and play. We know that we're supposed to win all the games, but if we don't, we just have to take the next game and focus on what we did wrong in the game before and just try to do better at the next game.
~By Shaquille O'Neal ~

~By Randy West ~
Baseball hasn't forgotten me. I go to a lot of old-timers games and I haven't lost a thing. I sit in the bullpen and let people throw things at me. Just like old times.
~By Bob Uecker ~
I don't bat an eye at stuff like that. I've had my share of wins. If I worried about the games I should have won, it would probably drive me crazy. It was a fun game to pitch in.
~By Roger Clemens ~
The Olympic Games is the ultimate level of competition.
~By Russell Mark ~
Money is not everything. My ambition was football itself, not the money I'd make from it. If that brings me and my family a more comfortable lifestyle, then that's fine. But I don't spend my time between games and training sessions thinking about figures.
~By Alessandro Del Piero ~
Nevertheless, the mode, the justification, and all the games involved in this war were dishonest.

~By Lawrence Taylor ~
My personal life is the same. At the end of the day, this is just a job. I love what I do, and it's a great job. But it's like my alter ego. There's Chris Brown the singer. And there's Christopher Brown, the down-home Tappahannock boy that plays video games and basketball and hangs out.
~By Chris Brown ~
I want to express my deepest apology to the athletes, the people of Salt Lake City in Utah and the millions of citizens worldwide who love and respect the games.

~By Ruth Ann Minner ~
A player is said to have the opposition when he can place his King directly in front of the adverse King, with only one square between them. This is often an important advantage in ending games.
~By Howard Staunton ~

~By Anatoly Karpov ~
It certainly is dangerous that there are only a few clubs left in Europe that can afford to pay millions. At the end of the day however, the spectators decide the rates of pay - by watching the games and consuming the goods and services advertised on sports TV programmes.
~By Angela Merkel ~
I may play some exhibition games so I don't want to quit the game of chess completely. I just decided and it's a firm decision not to play competitive chess anymore.
~By Garry Kasparov ~
Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.
~By Inge de Bruijn ~
It's still fun to come to games, and it's still fun to be in the Seattle crowd.

I can shoot pool, and I can play ping-pong. I'm pretty good at those games.
~By Thelonious Monk ~
I think video games and that stuff should be as violent as possible, but age-appropriate. It should be realistic. When it's not realistic you run into kids running around shooting people and not realizing the consequences.
