Tim TebowA Dominican monk, Father Henri Didon, used it as a watchword for his pupils in sports at Arcueil College in Paris.

Olivia WildeThe thing is that I am a member of that sad, ever-dwindling minority... the child of an unbroken home. I have carried this albatross since the age of eleven, when I started at grammar school.

What busy lives they led. How I envied their excuses for introspection, their ear-marked receptacles for every just antagonism and noble loyalty.
