• From Others

"In our country, true teams rarely exist . . . social barriers and personal ambitions have reduced athletes to dissolute cliques or individuals thrown together for mutual profit . . . Yet these rugby players, with their muddied, cracked bodies, are struggling to hold onto a sense of humanity that we in America have lost and are unlikely to regain. The game may only be to move a ball forward on a dirt field, but the task can be accomplished with an unshackled joy and its memories will be a permanent delight. The women and men who play on that rugby field are more alive than too many of us will ever be. The foolish emptiness we think we perceive in their existence is only our own." - Victor Cahn

"The only trophy we won this day, was the blood and sweat we left on the pitch.... and it was enough" -                                                                                                                                              Anonymous

"In the battle of life it is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where doer of a deed could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions, spends himself in a worthy case; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at his worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold timid souls who knew neither victory or defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

"A foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, a wise man grows it under his feet" - Anonymous

"Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival" - Winston Churchill
