America's 32nd president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected to
the country's top office four times, making him the only president
to serve more than two terms. FDR led the country through the Great

regulation, and in foreign affairs, where he was instrumental in
the creation of the United Nations. Gathered here are more than 100
of his inspiring quotations, not least of which is "We have nothing
to fear but fear itself."

lows, the drama and fun of 25 years of the Premier League through
this exceptional compilation, which brings together the very best
quotes, comments and soundbites to tell the story of each
incident-packed season. Remember Kevin Keegan's on-air meltdown? Or
Paolo Di Canio's shove? How about those jaw-on-the-floor goals like
Tony Yeboah's volley or Sergio Aguero's last gasp title-winning
goal for Manchester City? And what about some of those teams that
set the competition alight - like swash-buckling Newcastle,
all-conquering Manchester United and Arsenal's fabled
'Invincibles'? All the Premier League's sensational stories,
extraordinary incidents and dazzling moments are told here through
the voices, views and reflections of the managers and players
involved. 'You Can't Win Anything With Kids' also provides the
perfect opportunity to enjoy some of the funniest, most insightful
and sometimes perplexing soundbites from the last 25 years, from
the endlessly amusing spat between Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger
to Jurgen Klopp's off-the-wall reflections, Eric Cantona's deeply
philosophical musings and, of course, Alan Hansen's profoundly
misplaced pronouncements...
"In America, black "is" a country," declared Amiri Baraka, who

Other citations voice a broader perspective, including Maya
Angelou's remark, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we
take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

The writer who changed America's literary landscape. One of the
great novelists of the 20th century, Ernest Hemingway's spare,
precise prose captivated critics and readers alike, while his
swaggering personality made him a star beyond the literary scene.
The author's world was full of daring and danger: he drove an
ambulance during the First World War, had a love of bullfighting
and boxing, and rushed to see action in the Spanish Civil War. His
travels and adventures fuelled his art, while his troubled and
often chaotic life was central to his creativity. Packed full of
insightful quotes and fascinating facts about Hemingway's life and
work, this little book creates an intriguing portrait of the
complex man behind the writer. Sample Quotes: 'But man is not made
for defeat... A man can be destroyed but not defeated.' - The Old
Man and The Sea, 1952 'Always do sober what you said you'd do
drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.' - Hemingway,
in a personal letter to the publisher, Charles Scribner IV 'But
life isn't hard to manage when you've nothing to lose.' - A Farwell
to Arms, 1929 Sample Facts: While serving as an ambulance driver
during the First World War, Hemingway was badly wounded by mortar
fire. He managed to help an Italian soldier reach safety, an action
that earned him an Italian Silver Medal of Valour. Hemingway was an
avid hunter and fisherman. His zeal for both pursuits worked their
way into his fiction, such as the prize-winning novel The Old Man
and the Sea and the acclaimed short story 'The Short Happy Life of
Francis Macomber'.
