“The smell of the sweat is not sweet, but the fruit of the sweat is very sweet.”
― Wealth of Words
― Wealth of Words
“Athletes are considered heroes by many, but their true function is much more an aesthetic one. When isolated from the wealth it may generate, the talent itself is of no practical use to the betterment of society; but rather the athlete is a living sculpture, embodying a discipline that showcases certain heights of human potential.”
