Quotes Worth Quoting

Nottingham ( UK ) is my home town and for my sins I support Nottingham Forest Football club.
Some of you who follow football ( soccer ) will most likely of heard of the famous Forest manager Brian Clough. He managed the club between 1975 and 1993.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Clough when I was a youngster, he was every bit as enigmatic as his reputation. Looking back I am extremely happy and proud to have been able to meet the man, he is a legend within the Forest and footballing community.
Some of his quotes are quite funny and certainly memorable, my favourite Clough quotes are listed below. You can tell from his words that Mr Clough was not short on confidence or attitude, he deservedly won his nickname of "old Big Head"
“I wouldn’t say I was the best manager in the business…but I was in the top one.”
“The River Trent is lovely, I know because I have walked on it for 18 years.”
“Rome wasn’t built in a day, but then again I wasn’t on that particular job.”
On dealing with player disagreements: “We talk about it for 20 minutes and then we decide I was right.”

Reagans version:
"There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn't mind who gets the credit." — First Inaugural Address, January 21, 1981
I guess Reagan took Truman at his word about the value he placed on credit eh?
As someone who's had multimillion dollar ideas ripped off before, I do make sure I get credit, but not at the cost of getting things done.
