Olympics Quotes - Winter Olympics Quotes
The way Team U.S.A. womanhandled the Canadians in their eight-game Road to the Olympics series — eight wins, no losses, 31-13 in goals — you wonder why Canada is even showing up.
- Cam Cole, a columnist with Canada’s National Post, before Canada defeated the United States 3-2 to win the women’s gold medal.
Steve Yzerman should stay in Utah after what he pulled. Yzerman’s knee flared up during the Olympics and now he’s going to sit at home on his butt and miss games for the team and the fans who pay him his $8 million per year. What an outrage! Mario Lemieux is being lynched in Pittsburgh and it should be the same in Detroit for Yzerman.
- An irate Red Wings fan, after Yzerman and Lemieux revealed serious injuries as a result of the Olympic tournament.
Here’s a good trick: Get a job as a judge at the Olympics. Then, if some guy sets a world record, pretend that you didn’t see it and go, “Okay, is everybody ready to start now?”
- Jack Handy - Deep Thoughts
An Olympic medal is the greatest achievement and honour that can be received by an athlete. I would swap any World Title to have won gold at the Olympics.
- Jeff Fenech
The Montreal Olympics can no more have a deficit than a man can have a baby.

So much more was possible…this hurts so bad [on a disappointing day at the Olympics in Athens]
- Bill Sweetenham
There is something in the Olympics, indefinable, springing from the soul, that must be preserved.

I used the Olympics in my team talk. When I went to bed, Kelly Holmes turned me on - which is sad for me isn’t it?
- Neil Warnock

December Quotes
God gave us our memories so that
we might have roses in December.
- J. M. Barrie
December fog –
among the yellow leaves
a dead frog.
- Michael P. Garofalo, Cuttings
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly, I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Leonore –
For the rare and radiant maiden who the angels name Lenore –
Nameless here for evermore.
- Edgar Allan Poe, 1809-1849, The Raven
Thunder in December presages fine weather.
- Unknown
This is what I have heard
at last the wind in December
lashing the old trees with rain
unseen rain racing along the tiles
under the moon
wind rising and falling
wind with many clouds
trees in the night wind
- W. S. Merwin
Like in December like all the year long.
- Unknown
In a drear-nighted December,
Too happy, happy tree,
Thy branches ne’er remember
Their green felicity.
- John Keats
Every year at just this time,
In cold and dark December,
Families around the world
All gather to remember,
With presents and with parties,
With feasting and with fun,
Customs and traditions
for people old and young.
- Helen H. Moore
The gardening season officially begins on January 1st and ends on December 31.
- Marie Huston
That’s no December sky!
Surely ’tis June
Holds now her state on high
Queen of the noon.
Only the tree-tops bare
Crowning the hill,
Clear-cut in perfect air,
Warn us that still
Winter, the aged chief,
Mighty in power,
Exiles the tender leaf,
Exiles the flower.
- Robert Fuller Murray (1863-1894), A December Day
From December to March, there are for many of us three gardens - the garden outdoors, the garden of pots and bowls in the house, and the garden of the mind’s eye.
- Katherine S. White
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.
‘We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,’
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
- Oliver Herford, I Heard a Bird Sing
Come, come thou bleak December wind,
And blow the dry leaves from the tree!
Flash, like a Love-thought, thro’me, Death
And take a Life that wearies me.
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1772-1834, Fragment 3
