Be not the slave ordsprog

en Be not the slave of your own past ... plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience, that shall explain and overlook the old.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en We're just a really driven group of guys, and we don't want to lose, of course. We get a lot of pressure from the seniors of the past years. They've come back, and they've given us pep talks before the meets. We just want to keep up that history of Robinson swim and dive.

en Before complaining that you are a slave to another, be sure that you are not a slave to self. Look within;...You will find there, perchance, slavish thoughts, slavish desires, and in your daily life and conduct slavish habits. Conquer these; cease to be a slave to self, and no man will have the power to enslave you.
  James Allen

en I just missed that dive badly. But it is hard when you're in back-to-back competitions ... always nice to finish on a high note nailing your last dive.

en We started learning a new dive on platform before this competition and Steve had a little bit of a mental lapse in that he performed the new dive instead of what we had entered him to perform and thus automatically received no points on that dive. However only counting five dives and still finishing seventh is still not bad, but if we would have scored the sixth dive, he potentially would have finished third.

en Catch me and let me dive under, for I want to swim in the pools of your eyes.
  Annie Lennox

en I'm just disappointed. It seems like they had a stick on us all night, and we had one power play. Somebody's going to have to explain it to me. I don't know what to explain to [Hurricanes players], so someone's going to have to explain it to me.

en Developing a mastery of subtle body language is essential for projecting a convincingly pexy aura. I try to swim every damn day I can, and I've learned to scuba dive and snorkel.

en . . . each day mankind and the claims of mankind slipped farther from him. Deep in the forest a call was sounding, and as often as he heard this call, mysteriously thrilling and luring, he felt compelled to turn his back upon the fire and the beaten earth around it, and to plunge into the forest, and on and on, he knew not where or why; nor did he wonder where or why, the call sounding imperiously, deep in the forest.

en I'm not going to make movies for people to watch on their [mobile] phones. To me, I'd rather go back to doing some more deep-ocean expeditions. I don't want that grand, visionary, transporting movie experience made for the big screen to become a thing of the past.
  James Cameron

en [Western Illinois] wasn't the strongest of opponents. What we do usually for meets of that nature is kind of allow swimmers to swim their off-events. Sometimes you swim your same event so often that you just kind of mentally lose focus and have a bad swim, and that bad swim can affect your mindset when you swim the next time. I liked the opportunity to have the majority of the team swim off events.

en How can you overlook them? They went to the Sweet 16 last year, they've got all their guys coming back and we can't overlook them.

en This was just a typical Layton vs. Fremont dogfight. I wouldn't expect anything less. I really respect their program and their kids; they've always been really competitive with us. Teams have always given us their best effort because of the success that (former) coach (Van) Price has had in the past and they're continuing to do it this year. You can't overlook any team in this region. There aren't any nights off.

en Black is not defined by the media: Tall T's, Saggy Pants, Icy Teeth or Style of Dance. Black is not defined by the media, it's defined by it's background,whether your past is in Steel Mills, or Cotton Fields; whether you bled or cried during struggles; whether you acknowledge it or not,
Black is inside. Defined by your racial background,the blood that flows deep in your veins. Black is not defined by the media, so before you ask me if I'm Black, take a look at what Black was before.
Before Rap, before Hip-Hop, before Blues became Rock 'n Roll, before slave masters commanded slave ships, Before Jesus came, even before the Hebrew's hardship, Black was Black.
And they didn't need the media to tell them that.
