League Quotations
Just think of what Woodrow Wilson stood for: he stood for world government. He wanted an early United Nations, League of Nations. But it was the conservatives, Republicans, that stood up against him.
Ron Paul
We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.
Barack Obama
Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.
Yogi Berra
I think Little League is wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house.
Yogi Berra
I wish I could play little league now. I'd be way better than before.
Mitch Hedberg
Who in their infinite wisdom decreed that Little League uniforms be white? Certainly not a mother.
Erma Bombeck
The League is very well when sparrows shout, but no good at all when eagles fall out.
Benito Mussolini
The Arab League tells us to go in and take out Qaddafi. We've spent billions of dollars already with respect to the Arab League. Billions of dollars, because they told us to do it. Why aren't they paying for it? They don't like Qaddafi, Qaddafi's been a terrible thorn in their side.
Donald Trump
In 1981, at age 31, I was voted the best player in basketball, and the most valuable player in the league.
Julius Erving
None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots.
Thurgood Marshall
