#Predictions Quotes

“I have always read that the world, both land and water, was spherical, as the authority and researches of Ptolemy and all the others who have written on this subject demonstrate and prove, as do the eclipses of the moon and other experiments that are made from east to west, and the elevation of the North Star from north to south.”
“Listen, if the mayor wants to have a debate about education in this city, I got three words: bring it on.”
“Why should I? When someone insulted Caruso, did he sing an aria for him?”

“It's difficult in my position because you are just waiting on injuries and that's often when your opportunity comes at this point into the season, ... You never wish anyone ill health, but that's the reality of the business.”
“I read five books on the Constitution. My favorite was 'Plain, Honest Men' by Richard Beeman. I went on a science jag in the same way. I kept getting in arguments about evolution and being bested.

“Sanctions kept us on our toes, it made us realize that we were drifting into a situation of growing isolation so I wouldn't go as far as to say sanctions didn't play a role but if I were to put on a scale, the issues of conscience played a much greater role than the sanctions. We could have withstood sanctions for many more years. We became experts in circumventing sanctions... So sanctions played a role but it wasn't the major role.”
