1 " Winners are the favourites of heaven. "
― Tom Holland , In the Shadow of the Sword: The Birth of Islam and the Rise of the Global Arab Empire
2 " It [being very rich] used to worry me, and I thought it wrong to have so many beautiful things when others had nothing. Now I realize that it is possible for the rich to sin by coveting the privileges of the poor. The poor have always been the favourites of God and his saints, but I believe that is is one of the special achievements of Grace to sanctify the whole of life, riches included. "
― Evelyn Waugh , Brideshead Revisited
3 " Fitness will be a major factor in the first race and I think that will play into the hands of drivers who have been racing recently, rather than people like me who haven't raced properly for a decade. I'am not one of the favourites to start with. "
