Horsepower sells motorcars and torque wins motor races.

Carroll Smith

Offense sells tickets, defense wins games, rebounding wins championships.

Pat Summitt

Styling cars sells cars and safety does not.

Lee Iacocca

Old definitions of segments are going to get blurred. Once you defined cars by horsepower, engines. That has changed.

Anand Mahindra

The offense sells tickets and the defense wins the games.

Lindsey Nelson

Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.

Bear Bryant

Mexico is the second most important destination of U.S. exports. What does this mean? The U.S. sells to our country almost the same as it sells to all the European Union, five times what it sells Brazil. More than what it sells together to Brazil, Russia, China, and India.

Enrique Pena Nieto

If you had 25 races or 20 races, something like that, there'd be more of a demand for the race ticket. I think you'd probably see better racing because of it, too, honestly. Because the less chances we have to get wins, the more aggressive we're going to be.

Denny Hamlin

Beautiful art sells. If it sells itself, it is an idolatrous commodity; if it sells anything else, it is a seductive advertisement.

Dave Hickey

I don't design cars. I'm not a designer. I know what I desire to be built, I know what the end result is, the horsepower, the competition we'll be working against - but I leave it to the people who work with me to put it all together. I don't do anything.

Carroll Shelby

When the afterburner lights, I haven't got 5,000 horsepower. I've got 10,000 horsepower, and possibly the biggest accident you've ever seen in your life.

Richard Hammond

Guys want a 500 horsepower car. I'd rather have one horsepower - in a horse. That's macho. You go to pick up your date and you show up on a horse.

Bryan Callen

We're far from having too much horsepower...my definition of too much horsepower is when all four wheels are spinning in every gear.

Mark Donohue

The gun lobby is certainly politically powerful, but it loses as many races as it wins.

Chris Murphy

When women live rich, in every sense of the word - financially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually - everyone wins: you win, your family wins, your community wins, and the world wins.

Marie Forleo

The most important investment you can make is in yourself. Very few people get anything like their potential horsepower translated into the actual horsepower of their output in life. Potential exceeds realization for many people...The best asset is your own self. You can become to an enormous degree the person you want to be.

Warren Buffett
