“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.” ~ Jack Roosevelt Robinson, January 31, 1919 – October 24, 1972

“Life is not a spectator sport. If you’re going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you’re wasting your life.” ~ Jack Roosevelt Robinson, January 31, 1919 – October 24, 1972

“It kills me to lose. If I’m a troublemaker, and I don’t think that my temper makes me one, then it’s because I can’t stand losing. That’s the way I am about winning, all I ever wanted to do was finish first.” ~ Jack Roosevelt Robinson, January 31, 1919 – October 24, 1972
