You have to stay one level above everyone else.

If something is said about the Raiders, I'm ready to go to war.

I also played in the 1967 Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers.

Everyday I walked on to the field I was the best center.

I was told in high school that the last game during your senior year stays with you forever, which is true.

When I hear anything derogatory towards the Raiders, I am definitely hurt.

You have to stay one level above everyone else.

It's not that difficult to win. It's more difficult to win consistently and stay on top.

I think the officials and NFL owners are playing to the type of game that people want to see.

If the entire team can feel the same way about these things, you can consistently remain a winner.

I think the tougher the challenge the better.

And as a true athlete, mistakes haunt you forever.

Everyone wants to beat us. So you can never take a single game lightly.

I have seen the Raiders develop into what they are today.

I think Ray Guy and John Madden for sure should be in the Hall of Fame and Cliff Branch should be as well.

But now there are more concussions due to not being used to the hard hitting.

I work here at the Raiders. My position is basically what I make it.

I've been a Raider all my life.

You must also give mental and physical fitness priority.

It was a very exciting time for me to play professional football, finally.

We have three tremendous tight ends in Christianson, Casper, and Chester.

We have always had great and loyal fans in Oakland.

The first game I played. We played against the Dallas Texans.

There is hard hitting, but the hitting is not nearly as hard as it used to be.

The NFL offensive blocking is played differently; they use their hands instead of their head and shoulders.

The plays I remember are the plays I made a mistake.

I have been a part of this development, so I am very proud of it.

'But I don't want to go among mad people,' said Alice. 'Oh, you can't help that,' said the cat. 'We're all mad here.'

The single life is not one I willingly chose for myself.

When I started studying for the arias it was like going into training for a heavyweight title fight.

Every day I think, 'Gosh, I wish I could be like George Carlin, Bill Maher: I want that edge.' But every time I start to get that edgy thing, I get kind of mean.

There's a big difference between France and the U.S. In the U.S., immigrants must work to live. In France, they're taken care of by public finances. In France, there are millions of unemployed people already. We cannot house them, give them health care, education... finance people who keep coming and coming.

I think the Justice Department needs to be the final protector of the people of the United States of America.

Be the light in the dark, be the calm in the storm and be at peace while at war.

One who imitates what is bad always goes beyond his model; while one who imitates what is good always comes up short of it.

Paul Newman is a sex symbol.

The biggest novelty of 2013 will be new leadership in China. Very little is known about the views of the new leaders - who will rule the country for ten years. But we do know they're the first generation of Chinese leaders who have spent the majority of their lives in a China 'opening up' to the rest of the world.

I was interested in science or, at least, nature from an early age, learning the names of planets, cutting cartoons with facts about animals out of the newspaper and gluing them into a scrapbook, and, with a friend when I was five or six, trying to design a submarine.

The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest the patient in the care of the human frame in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.

As a designer looking to the future, you don't want to get lost in the archives.

I don't see myself as famous at all so I'm continuing my life as normal.

While I didn't have everything that I wanted, I was still a happy kid.

I put my body through hell. I run 120 miles a week, week in, week out.

I like doing accents. One of my friends works in hotel reservations and I'll ring her up and complain about the suite. Sometimes I get her.

Nothing happens to any man that he is not formed by nature to bear.

I'm nocturnal when it comes to recording - I'm just more creative at night.

We have two strategies for coping the way of avoidance or the way of attention.

It is a struggle for though the black man fights passively he nevertheless fights and his passive resistance is more effective at present than active resistance could possibly be. He bears the fury of the storm as does the willow tree.

Charity is a supreme virtue, and the great channel through which the mercy of God is passed onto mankind.
