I'd like to put in my two cents. I'd like to see Matt Millen coach the team, to be honest with you.

I think he's the perfect choice to just get out there and start rocking some heads.

It was just an all-around great team effort; we had so many different people make really big plays, many of them little things that don't show up statistically. But in such a close match, all of those little things are important. It just illustrated the tremendous fight and character of this team.

B. D. Wong

Usually the character parts are so much more interesting to play.

Carey Mulligan

The people cannot look to legislation generally for success. Industry, thrift, character, are not conferred by act or resolve. Government cannot relieve from toil.

Self-government means self-support.

Governments do not make ideals, but ideals make governments. This is both historically and logically true. Of course the government can help to sustain ideals and can create institutions through which they can be the better observed, but their source by their very nature is in the people. The people have to bear their own responsibilities. There is no method by which that burden can be shifted to the government. It is not the enactment, but the observance of laws, that creates the character of a nation.

Calvin Coolidge

Character is the only secure foundation of the state.

Calvin Coolidge

Industry, thrift and self-control are not sought because they create wealth, but because they create character.

Cesar Chavez

...people think non-violence is really weak and non-militant. These are misconceptions that people have because they don't understand what non-violence means. Non-violence takes more guts, if I can put it bluntly, than violence. Most violent acts are accomplished by getting the opponent off guard, and it doesn't take that much character, I think, if one wants to do it.

Cesar Chavez

Our language is the reflection of ourselves. A language is an exact reflection of the character and growth of its speakers.
