Famous quotes containing the words expected and/or win:
“What strikes me as odd now is how much my father managed to get across to me without those heart-to-hearts which Ive read about fathers and sons having in the study or in the rowboat or in the car.... Somehow I understood completely how he expected me to behave, in small matters as well as large, even though I cant remember being given any lectures about it beyond the occasional, undramatic You might as well be a mensch.”
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“All this stuff you heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.... Americans play to win all the time. I wouldnt give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. Thats why Americans have never lostand will never losea war, because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.”
—Francis Ford Coppola (b. 1939)
