Letter "F" » Fifty one
«There are one-hundred fifty-four games in a season and you can find one-hundred fifty-four reasons why your team should have won every one of them.»
«I talk and talk and talk, and I haven't taught people in fifty years what my father taught me by example in one week.»
«Give me a man who says this one thing I do, and not those fifty things I dabble in.»
«If you ask a member of this generation two simple questions: ''How do you want the world to be in fifty years?'' and ''What do you want your life to be like five years from now?'' the answers are quite often preceded by ''Provided there is still a world'' and ''Provided I am still alive.'' To the often-heard question, Who are they, this new generation? one is tempted to answer, Those who hear the ticking. And to the other question, Who are they who utterly deny them? the answer may well be, Those who do not know, or refuse to face, things as they really are.»
«Better fifty enemies outside the house than one within»
«I'll take fifty percent efficiency to get one hundred percent loyalty.»
«Stars are good too. I wish I could get some to put in my hair. But I suppose I never can. You would be surprised to find how far off they are, for they do not look it. When they first showed last night I tried to knock some down with a pole, but it didn't reach, which astonished me. Then I tried clods till I was all tired out, but I never got one. I did make some close shots, for I saw the black blot of the clod sail right into thee midst of the golden clusters forty or fifty times, just barely missing them, and if I could've held out a little longer, maybe I could've got one.»
