"I started skating and I kind of..." - Quote by Scott Hamilton

“A bad attitude is the only true handicap.”

“Everything that I've ever been able to accomplish in skating and in life has come out of adversity and perseverance.”

“Always try to maintain complete tolerance and always make an effort to give people more then they expect.”

“What separated me from all my homeboys is the fact that I didn't get caught inside the reality. I was always dreaming about doing something else or going somewhere else.”

“he who should inspire and lead his race must be defended from travelling with the souls of other men, from living, breathing, reading, and writing in the daily, time-worn yoke of their opinions.”

“It would be a thousand pities if women wrote like men, or lived like men, or looked like men, for if two sexes are quite inadequate, considering the vastness and variety of the world, how should we manage with one only? Ought not education to bring out and fortify the differences rather than the similarities?”

“As a rule, the man who can do all things equally well is a very mediocre individual.”

“I don't think stand-up is being appreciated as much as it could be and I don't think it has for a long time. There's some great stand-up comics who come to a town and if they're not a name, they don't attract a crowd but in reality there are brilliant people out there.”

“It is personality with a penny's worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.”
