Sport, which mimics the language and emotional intensity of war but eliminates the fatal destruction, may be a form of redemption.
Ed Ayres
Image
Sport inevitably creates deadness of feeling. No one could take pleasure in it who was sensitive to suffering and therefore its pursuit by women is much more to be regretted than its pursuit by men, because women pursue much more violently and recklessly what they pursue at all.
Ouida

Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair
Nelson Mandela
Image
Sport has the power to change the world... Sport can awaken hope where there was previously only despair.

Sport begets tumultuous strife and wrath, and wrath begets fierce quarrels and war to the death.
Horace

Sport in the sense of a mass-spectacle, with death to add to the underlying excitement, comes into existence when a population has been drilled and regimented and depressed to such an extent that it needs at least a vicarious participation in difficult feats of strength or skill or heroism in order to sustain its waning life-sense.
Lewis Mumford

Sport is something that does not matter, but is performed as if it did. In that contradiction lies its beauty

Sport is an important part of the development of kids, and hence, it should be made a part of their curriculum.

Sport is a seductive metaphor (life as a game in which we gain victory through hard work, discipline, and visualizing success). but the older metaphor of farming (life as hard labor that is subject to weather and quirks of blind fate and may return no reward whatsoever and don't be surprised) is still in our blood.
Garrison Keillor

Sport is an essential element of education.
George A. Sheehan

Sport is an important part of the Australian psyche. Anybody who thinks that sport is not part of the fabric of Australian life misunderstands this country quite dramatically.
John Howard

Sport teaches you about commitment and to dedicate yourself. Whether you make it to the top or not, sport gives you great skills that you can use in life.
Jenny Meadows

Sport is imposing order on what was chaos.
Antony Starr

Sport used to play a phenomenal part in my life, because I used to play a lot of county sport, a lot of sport for my school. I love team sports. Talk about being with the boys. I love the camaraderie. That's why I like acting.
Matthew William Goode

Sport is an international phenomenon, like science or music.
Avery Brundage

Sport is a loathsome and dangerous pursuit.
Barry Humphries
Image
Sport is cultural. What the star athlete does helps to define the culture. What the star athlete does on a Canadian team, especially if he or she is Canadian, helps define Canadian-ness.
George Elliott Clarke
Image
Sport is a great equalizer that can build bridges, transcend borders and cultures, and render even the fiercest conflicts temporarily irrelevant.
Richard Attias
Image
Sport is one of the few spaces where people can learn about different cultures in a spirit of trust and friendship.

Image
Sport, at its best, at its most human, is able to inspire an innocence and joy that is unique to each of us.
Richard J. Corman
Image
Sport provides the spectacle, the metaphor, the religious ritual, the putty to fill the cracks in countless lives.
Phillip Adams
Image
Sport can be used for messaging, for example, making the connections between shin guards or a helmet that protects you, and protection in terms of HIV and AIDS. There has also been a very active program in Africa called 'Kick Polio out of Africa,' where soccer players have spoken out in terms of polio. There is also going to be a swim for malaria.

Sport taught me how to goal set, it really gave me a voice and identity.
