“Nothing ever guarantees you anything-that's my rule. My other rule is never believe anything that anyone tells you, and then you'll never be fooled. It's not as cynical as it sounds; it's just that people always say something for a reason-maybe a nice reason, maybe a devious reason-so on that level, you can't take things at face value.”
David Hyde Pierce
“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me I'm perfect-- But tell me the truth.”
Shel Silverstein
“Nothing was guaranteed; the roster was set, and even if I chose to stay, there's no guarantee of me making this team. I understand that completely. Joe Torre knows what I can do, and every person in this camp knows what I can do. I'm not a young kid who is going to be a surprise. They know.”
Al Leiter
“I'm telling my teammates day in and day out nothing is guaranteed, ... We got here this time, it might not happen next year so we have to leave it on the court.”
Yolanda Griffith
“When we love, we are courageous; and courage has nothing to do with being fearless, it’s about being willing to experience fear, even dread, to do what we must, without guarantee of outcome.”
Vanna Bonta
“Arriving 15 minutes early does nothing but guarantee a 30-minute wait”
Doug Larson
