"Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile." --Vince Lombardi

"Ceremony"

I will tell you something about stories:
They aren't just for entertainment.
Don't be fooled.
They are all we have, you see,
all we have to fight off
illness and death.
You don't have anything
if you don't have the stories.
Their evil is almighty,
but it can't stand up to our stories.
So they try to destroy our stories--
let the stories be confused or forgotten.
They would like that.
They would be happy,
because we would be defenseless then.
He rubbed his belly.
I keep them here
[he said].
Here, put your hand on it.
See, it is moving.
There is life here
for the people.
And in the belly of this story
the rituals and the ceremony
are still growing.

"Do you know what it means to learn?
When you are really learning you are learning
throughout your life and there is no one special
teacher to learn from. Then, everything teaches you--
a dead leaf, a bird in flight, a smell, a tear, the rich
and the poor, those who are crying, the smile
of a woman, the haughtiness of a man. You learn
from everything, therefore there is no guide,
no philosopher, no guru. Life itself is your teacher,
and you are in a state of constant learning...."
