Your favourite Earl Strickland quotes

Fast Lenny said:
I have to say Earl is my favorite player to watch,I also am very fond of Archer and try to be like him at the table besides the nit picking,he carries himself well.I know many people bash him but he gave his life to this game,as a young man he would sleep under the table,i mean how many of you have slept under the table?,im not talking about your wife kicking you out of the bedroom either,im talking really living pool.I think he is the greatest 9 ball player the world has seen period and when he was on he would run packs on people and have them fried in the electric chair,he wouldnt beat an opponent,he would destroy them and the player they thought they were.Go Earl! :D

He didn't cure cancer, he played a game. Who gives a shit if he had to sleep under the table, most people are smart enough to get a job. His decision, and its not worthy of praise.

I love Earl but this is a ridiculous take

Practice what I Preach

Bruce Lee: 'Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.​

These words remind us that acknowledging errors is not defeat but the first step toward mastery.

We often carry a quiet fear of being wrong, as if mistakes are cracks in the foundation of our worth. Yet, the truth is that missteps are not signs of weakness but invitations to grow.

Not my words but worth a thought. I got them here. https://m.economictimes.com/magazin...e-to-admit-them/amp_articleshow/125837662.cms
