A lack of street footballers dulls the imagination, dulls that natural thinking outside the box. You need that on the street when you're 9 and have to beat a 14-year-old on the dribble. Or if you get knocked out and have to sit on the side and come on.

Sol Campbell

Sensuality not only debases both body and mind, but dulls the keen edge of pleasure.

Henry Fielding

People are distracted by objects of desire, and afterward repent of the lust they've indulged, because they have indulged with a phantom and are left even farther from Reality than before.

Rumi

What you want to see [in Formula One] is a highly competitive sport - and the more equal it is the more exciting it is... the more volatile in the sense of results. If you have just one winner continuously it dulls the enthusiasm.

Martin Sorrell

Education is a priority over any sport because without a mind you can't contribute to society.

Tiger Woods

The rhetoric is the first step, it coarsens attitudes

Amy Waldman

The earth was made so various, that the mind Of desultory man, studious of change, And pleased with novelty, might be indulged.

William Cowper

The subtle sauce of malice is often indulged in by maidens of uncertain age, over their tea.

I love golf for the challenge in it. That's the only sport I know that you can do the same thing over and over and over and over and expect different results.

Scarface

If a rating is bad in another sport, do you see a writer say, 'This sport's over?' No.

Dana White

If you like working out in a gym over playing a sport, then you should go ahead and do it. It is about what your mind has a liking towards.

Naga Chaitanya

People are distracted by objects of desire, and afterwards repent of the lust they've indulged, because they have indulged with a phantom and are left even farther from Reality than before. Your desire for the illusory is a wing, by means of which a seeker might ascend to Reality. When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off; you become lame and that fantasy flees. Preserve the wing and don't indulge such lust, so that the wing of desire may bear you to Paradise. People fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion.

Rumi

I've done a lot for the sport. Those wins over Fedor, 'Minotauro' and Velasquez will forever be in the history of the sport.

Fabricio Werdum

We've taken a position that drivers are going to be able to speak their mind and criticize the sport way more than any other sport would allow. However, there have to be some limits.

Brian France

So if you have over-indulged during the holidays, for example, please don't beat yourself up, but rather have compassion and forgiveness and perhaps, even try the Ho'oponono technique.
