Cleopatra's nose: if it had been shorter, the whole face of the earth would have been different.
An ounce of mother is worth a ton of priest.
I thought Tiger Woods was crazy. What in the world did
he have in his mind anyway?
Here is the man who dominated the pro-golf world, who
had won the prestigious Masters, who was blasting 300
yard drives, hitting crisp iron shots at the pins, like
shooting darts, and draining putts from every spot on
the green. Here is the man who had already won
several million dollars in prize money, who had gained
over sixty million bucks from endorsements, and was
being hailed as the next Jack Nicklaus.
Now...this man...on top of the golf world...takes time
out to...change the way he swung the golf club! Was he
out of his mind? When asked, Wood replied, "I wasn't
in the greatest of positions on my swing. Because my
timing was great, I got away with it. But I wondered how
I could contend in tournaments where my timing was
off. The answer was 'no.' I wanted to change that."
He phoned his old coach, Butch Harmon, and said he
wanted to rebuild his swing. The two of them went to
work, pounding a zillion golf balls on the practice range,
reviewing tapes of Woods' swing, and, slowly but surely,
reforming the way this brilliant golfer manipulated the
club.
So? So this year of 2000, Woods simply won 3 of the
4 majors. And more money than he can ever spend.
The best wanted to get better! That, to me, is the legacy
of Tiger Woods.

Take Christians. I am surrounded by Christians. They are generally speaking a pleasant and agreeable lot, not noticeably different from other people -- even though they, the Christians of the South, the USA, the Western world have killed off more people than all other people put together. Yet I cannot be sure they don’t have the truth. But if they have the truth, why is it the case that they are repellent precisely to the degree that they embrace and advertise the truth? One might even become a Christian if there were few if any Christians around. Have you ever lived in the midst of fifteen million Southern Baptists?... A mystery: If the good news is true, why is not one pleased to hear it?
