“[One such item was an early 1900s royal scepter of England's King Edward VII. The lot opened with a minimum of $1,000. Thirty-five bids later, it sold for $40,100.] Any time an item sells for 40 times its opening bid, you've got to give it the credit it deserves, ... This auction has gone a long way to establishing the standards for many collectibles that to this point did not have benchmarks.”
Doug Allen
“I feel strongly that a ham sandwich with a scepter would be a fine Fed chairman. In fact, I think a ham sandwich with a scepter might do a better job because it wouldn't be politically motivated.”
James Padinha
“We could have Title VII violations here. These guys would have a wonderful lawsuit.”

“One of the few things in dance to match the Royal Ballet's curtain calls is the Royal Ballet's dancing.”
Clive Barnes
“We try to score runs one an inning, but our runs have come in bunches this year. When Royal was getting on base, we win. We're a different team when he's on base. He makes all of our guys better hitters when he's on base.”
Steve Cook
“[A 66 at Royal Lytham and St. Annes in the 1996 British Open convinced Woods he was ready, and Els was the first person he told. (The secret was kept for a month, until Tiger had collected his third Amateur title.) Ernie tied for second at Lytham, Woods for 22nd (low amateur), so their presence was required at Tom Lehman's crowning. Afterward, in the clubhouse bar, they had a beer.] I don't have to tell you, ... you're more than good enough to be playing out here.”
Ernie Els
“There are two types of royal programs. One is ever-praising of the queen, and the other is of the tabloid-sort, having a go at the royal family. We were trying to be as neutral and as objective as possible. We hope people make up their own minds.”
