- Phil OchsRegarding his favorite book, Gustavus Myers` The History of American fortunes: "If you follow the money, like the writer did - the history of the Rockefellers and so on - you find out about real history. In that book you learn that the Civil War was not about freeing the slaves, it was all about the money, etc."

- Andale GrossThis ship was a league from us, and some of the men would have taken her, and I would not consent to it, and this Moore said I always hindered them making their fortunes. Was that not the reason I struck him? Was there a mutiny on board?
- Andrew PincusWithout going back to individual seasons, you`d have a hard time finding so many major things happening to one club other than this year, ...

- Andy BussEach ten years of a man`s life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires.
- Andy GuenthardSooner or later he must decide what sort of role he intends to play. He seems to reflect the shallowness of a culture that has brought West Indies cricket to its knees. More is needed from the side`s senior opening batsman, a member of the World XI no less, than floated off breaks, blocks and lifted drives. No one in this touring party is better placed than the endlessly languid Jamaican to provide the inspiration that alone can turn its fortunes around.
