Nowadays the rage for possession has got to such a pitch that there is nothing in the realm of nature, whether sacred or profane, out of which profit cannot be squeezed
Desiderius Erasmus
Professional managers, coaches, and players have a right to question an umpire`s decision if they do it in a professional manner. When they become personal, profane, or violent, they have crossed the line and must be dealt with accordingly.
Alice Cahn

Alfred, Lord Tennyson
