1. Never take something and give nothing in return -Coolidge (from his mom) in "Bonus Baby."

2. Take your hands off your hips. When you put your hands on your hips, you're telling your opponent you're tired and he'll run you ragged. -Reeves to Randy Judd in "Sudden Death."

3. The problem with acting tough all the time is there's always somebody who's a lot tougher. -Thorpe in the season 3 Christmas episode.

4. The world is divided into 4 types of people. 25 percent who like you for the right reasons. 25 percent who like you for the wrong reasons. 25 percent who don't like you for the wrong reasons. And, 25 percent who don't like you for the right reasons. It's the last 25 percent that anybody should ever be concerned about. -Sybil Buchanan to Raymond Collins in "Just One of the Boys."

Here's another one...

Sybil to Reeves after dealing with Lucius Robinson:

"You learned one of the hardest things for a teacher to learn. Try as we may, there are some students we just can't help. But there's one thing to be thankful for...the ones we can."
