Famous quotes

« I joined MySpace in September 2003. At that time no one was on there at all. I felt like a loser while all the cool kids were at some other school. So I mass e-mailed between 30,000 and 50,000 people and told them to come over. Everybody joined overnight. »
Tila Tequila
« One of the things I like best about 'Biggest Loser' is being around people who are trying to make the right choices. When you feel defeated about your weight and your health, like there's no hope, and you still make the choice to fight for it, to make the change happen no matter what people say or think, that's inspiring to me. »
Alison Sweeney
« I have probably purchased fifty 'hot tips' in my career, maybe even more. When I put them all together, I know I am a net loser. »
Charles M. Schwab
« It's not life or death it's a game and at the end of the game there is going to be a winner and a loser. »
Bernhard Langer
« He was a degenerate gambler. That is, a man who gambled simply to gamble and must lose. As a hero who goes to war must die. Show me a gambler and I'll show you a loser, show me a hero and I'll show you a corpse. »
Mario Puzo
