There weren't any sports figures that I idolized because I didn't really believe in myself back then or think that I could make it here. There were some regular people in my neighborhood that I looked up to growing up but that was it.
As a kid I always idolized the winning athletes. It is one thing to idolize heroes. It is quite another to visualize yourself in their place. When I saw great people, I said to myself: I can be there.
I worked with everybody, the best, and they actually paid me money to stand next to the people I idolized.
Whatsoever we have over-loved, idolized, and leaned upon, God has from time to time broken it, and made us to see the vanity of it; so that we find the readiest course to be rid of our comforts is to set our hearts inordinately upon them.
I don't want to be idolized, I just want to play. And to do that you have to run and sweat.
I've never tried to emulate anyone. I've never idolized people, I prefer instead to get off on attitudes.
I idolized all of the bodybuilders who came from that old-school hardcore era. Those guys didn't need any fancy equipment; they trained with intensity and focus, regardless of the gym or other limitations. These guys could do presses with pails full of cement and still get a great workout.
I have always idolized eccentric people.
Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized.
I idolized my mother. I didn't realize she was a lousy cook until I went into the army.
My political ideal is democracy. Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.
America was the first country in history to be founded on, people have rights. Not the divine right of kings, not the emperor's a god, or idolized, or we have to do what the dear leader says. And, expressly, that it's a system of equal rights, and then governments are instituted to secure those rights.
I idolized Superman when I was younger. I thought he and I had a lot in common. He was always going into phonebooths and taking off all his clothes.
