Death is in the nature of the universe, Barker. Death is only the operation of a mechanism. All the universe has been running down from the moment of its creation. Did you expect a machine to care what it acted upon? Death is like sunlight or a falling star; they don't care where they fall. Death cannot see the pennants on a lance, or the wreath of glory in a dying man's hand. Flags and flowers are the inventions of life. When a man dies, he falls into enemy hands-an ignorant enemy, who doesn't merely spit on banners but who doesn't even know what banners are. No ordinary man could stand to find that out. You found it out today. You sat in the laboratory and were speechless at the injustice of it. You'd never thought that justice was only another human invention. (Algis Budrys)
Fitness is a curve. You can be Lance Armstrong, or you can be really out of shape at the opposite end. People enter the curve wherever they are and then they can move up the curve, by better nutrition and better exercise. View quote
Gordon Strachan
The Norman minstrel Tallefer, before the commencement of the battle at Hastings, cast his lance into the air three times, and caught it by the head in such a surprising manner, that the English thought it was done by the power of enchantment. View quote
Joseph Strutt
The cavalryman, is for practical purposes a compound of three factors; man, horse and rifle. The lance should go altogether. View quote
Robert Erskine Childers
I was treated with a miracle drug, just like Lance Armstrong. View quote
Billy Tauzin
Lance Armstrong is the guy that I would put up there as one of my heroes. He's done something that no one else has done and when you put into it what he overcame, it's absolutely unbelievable. View quote
Craig T. Nelson
Lance Guest in 'The Last Starfighter' had such integrity and held himself to such a high standard that I just wanted to raise your own standard to meet it. He is a hard-working, giving actor. He made me feel secure and better in my role opposite him. View quote
Catherine Mary Stewart
Another inspiration that has helped me get through has been Lance Armstrong's story. My cancer is not nearly as bad as his, but I believe in staying motivated and keeping as fit as you can. View quote
Grete Waitz
In an age robbed of religious symbols, going to the shops replaces going to the church. We have a free choice, but at a price. We can win experience, but never achieve innocence. Marx knew that the epic activities of the modern world involve not lance and sword but dry goods. View quote
Stephen Bayley
That devilish Iron Horse, whose ear-rending neigh is heard throughout the town, has muddied the Boiling Spring with his foot, and he it is that has browsed off all the woods on Walden shore, that Trojan horse, with a thousand men in his belly, introduced by mercenary Greeks Where is the country's champion, the Moore of Moore Hall, to meet him at the Deep Cut and thrust an avenging lance between the ribs of the bloated pest. View quote
Henry David Thoreau
In each of which he seems to shake a lance, As brandish'd at the eyes of ignorance. (Ben Jonson)
Lance Armstrong: How bad do you want to win a stage in the Tour de France? Floyd Landis: Real bad. Armstrong: How fast can you go down hill? Landis: I go downhill real fast. Can I do it? Armstrong: Sure you can do it ... run like you stole something Floyd. View quote
Lance Armstrong
If you look at anyone who has achieved great success and wealth, people like Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, or Lance Armstrong, they have all focused intensely in order to win. View quote
Robert Kiyosaki
I once had on a Lance Armstrong bracelet and a What Would Jesus Do bracelet and I rubbed a blind kid's eyes and he could see. But he wasn't used to the light, it was bright, walked into traffic, was killed instantly. Okay, those of you that are laughing, I'm going to call you half-full, because you're remembering the most important part: The bracelets are working! View quote
Daniel Tosh
Through tattered clothes great vices do appear; Robes and furred gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold and the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks. Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw does pierce it. View quote
William Shakespeare
Again I come back, why is USADA which is really a nefarious locals drugs agency in the United States so intent? Now I can tell you one thing. And I could prove it in SA but I, I went to, I met a chap who worked with Armstrong, err, on Saturday in Boulder Colorado. And he told me that he had a visit, two years ago, err to tell, and the question was, they were agents from a particular agency and, er, they said "will you tell us that Lance Armstrong took EPO? And we could assure that you will never want for money again". That was his quote on Thursday and he told them in words I can't put on radio what to do with that and they said "I think we're talking to the wrong man” and they walked away. View quote
Phil Liggett
He told me in a private situation, when I wasn't working as a journalist. I was sat in the bedroom some years ago, and I asked him point blank, ‘look Lance, the way I talked you up on television, I would have to back off and resign if you one day went positive'. And he looked at me and he said ‘man I've seen death in the face and I don't take drugs.' And that's all he said. I have no reason to disbelieve him. View quote
Phil Liggett
What grace could all your worldly power bring To One whose crown of thorns has made him King, The Christ who gave His body to the flails, Who humbly bore the lance and piercing nails? Or do you fear the rabble might disgrace The One. View quote
Aleksandr Pushkin
Come! Let us lay a lance in rest, And tilt at windmills under a wild sky! View quote
John Galsworthy
Come! Let us lay a lance in rest, And tilt at windmills under a wild sky! For who would live so petty and unblest That dare not tilt at something ere he die; Rather than, screened by safe majority, Preserve his little life to little end, And never raise a rebel cry! View quote
John Galsworthy
In default of bow or lance, they chase with the fusil, but seldom so successfully as with the former weapons. The Americans generally prefer 'running' with the horseman's pistol; yet the Indian is apt to kill double as many with his arrows or lance. (Josiah Gregg)
The lance is the queen of cavalry weapons. View quote
Raimondo Montecuccoli
The medical men proposed bleeding, but he refused, observing, "Have you no other remedy than bleeding?-there are many more die of the lancet than the lance.”. View quote
Lord Byron
The insect looked at Jurgen, and its pincers rose erect in horror. The bug cried to the three judges, - Now, by St. Anthony! this Jurgen must forthwith be relegated to limbo, for he is offensive and lewd and lascivious and indecent.... - And how can that be?... says Jurgen. - You are offensive,... the bug replied, - because this page has a sword which I chose to say is not a sword. You are lewd because that page has a lance which I prefer to think is not a lance. You are lascivious because yonder page has a staff which I elect to declare is not a staff. And finally, you are indecent for reasons of which a description would be objectionable to me, and which therefore I must decline to reveal to anybody.... View quote
