1. “A penalty is a cowardly way to score.” Pele
2. "I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.”
3. "If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.”
4. "When you are as great as I am it is hard to be humble.”
5. "I hated every minute of training, but I said, ''Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a
champion.''
6. “Champions aren´t made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside
them - a desire, a dream, a vision.” Muhammad Ali
7. Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.
8. Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
9. Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased by
tales, so is the other.
10. I'll be floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee. Muhammad Ali
11. It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up. Muhammad Ali
12. I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. Michael Jordan
13. If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. Michael Jordan
14. An eye for an eye only makes the world blinder
15.Right now, Islam is portrayed as a terrorist religion. Because a few terrorists are Muslims, the whole religion has that image.
16.Islam is perfect, there is nothing to be added or changed.
17. “In a World where people are surrounded by darkness, ignorance and fear, it is a sign of hope to be celebrating Islam's message of peace and light, and the last great Messenger, born and chosen to deliver them to all mankind.” yusuf islam
18. If there are Muslims who believe that they've got to kill Christians to make a way for the Islamic faith in the West, not only would they be disappointed, but it will lead to conflict, there's no doubt about that.
19. Europe is no longer Europe, it is Eurabia, a colony of Islam, where the Islamic invasion does not proceed only in a physical sense, but also in a mental and cultural sense.

Showing his true colors, the Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic is attempting to crush violently an Albanian insurrection in Serbia's province of Kosovo. Reminiscent of tactics used in the early stages of Bosnia's war, Serbian security forces have razed a wide swath of the Albanian community, killing hundreds and driving from their homes more than 65,000 ethnic Albanians, many of whom fled across the border to Albania before the Yugoslav Army began mining it.

Fast food nation is about the consequences of the fast food culture that has developed in the US and has spread to other parts of the world. Every part of system is examined - the food, marketing, science of taste, supply production and human impact on both those that eat fast food and those who work for the fast food companies and the industries which supply the fast food chains. While fast food is appreciated by many, there is a dark side to that Fast Food Nation tries to point out with a great deal of detail.
The fast food industry started in California. As the companies grew and their success increased fast food spread around the nation. This success has had a real impact on our culture and is partly responsible for the way life is today. We are an obese country. Fast food is very fattening and sold in big sizes. The whole industry is very much engineered.
The food is engineered in taste laboratories and is designed to be very appealing, almost (but not quite the same thing) like a drug. The fast food companies are involved in marketing, particularly to very young people, to get them hooked on their product early. It's easy to get hooked on it because most of it tastes so good. But just because it tastes good does not mean it is good.Halo : First Strike

The story takes place one thousand years in the future during a war between the human race and the evil alien juggernaut named the Covenant. The human race is fighting for its survival because the alien's goal is to destroy all human life. The one hope for the human race is the Spartan program that turns ordinary soldiers into great warriors. The Master Chief encounters seemingly impossible odds in every battle that he enters. He prevails in each of these battles and this makes him seem like a hero and obviously a great fighter.
