Famous quotes containing the words south, african and/or sport:

“These South savannahs may yet prove battle-fields.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“If your buttocks burn, you know you have done wrong.”
—White South African proverb.

“Americans living in Latin American countries are often more snobbish than the Latins themselves. The typical American has quite a bit of money by Latin American standards, and he rarely sees a countryman who doesn’t. An American businessman who would think nothing of being seen in a sport shirt on the streets of his home town will be shocked and offended at a suggestion that he appear in Rio de Janeiro, for instance, in anything but a coat and tie.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
