Famous quotes containing the words athletic and/or association:

    The only athletic sport I ever mastered was backgammon.
    Douglas Jerrold (1803–1857)

    With all their faults, trade-unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in man, than any other association of men.
    Clarence Darrow (1857–1938)
