Playwright George Bernard Shaw to an actress:
"Madam, would you sleep with me for 1,000,000 pounds?"
Actress: "I don't know, I suppose I would"
Shaw: "Well then, would you sleep with me for 1 pound?"
Actress: "Certainly not. What do you take me for, a whore?"

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

"Out of every 100 men,
10 shouldn't even be there,
80 are just targets;
9 are real fighters,and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle,
Ah, but the one,
One is a warrior,
And he will bring the others back"

"I once read an interesting book.
It said that most people lost in the wilds...
...they die of shame
They die of shame.

And so they sit there and they...
...die
Because they didn't do the one thing which would've saved their lives.

We are absolutely indifferent to another person's pain until his sufferings make us uncomfortable." - Mark Twain (What is Man?)

Makes me think of the "cool, calm, relaxed," James Bondesque style man. Very interesting concept. In stark contrast with "aloof game," though. Maybe the aloofness is the result of absolute control over aggression?

'Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.'

'Devote each day to the object then in time and every evening will find something done.'

'Every person above the ordinary has a certain mission that they are called to fulfill.'

'For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is.'

This one is attributeds to Goethe, but apparently is truly from some unknown source, which I think makes it more magic.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.

The whole quote, from a scottish mountain climber's book:

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”

Seems like this has been taken to heart by some, rather than as a hint...
