Jermaine O'Neal
American Basketball Player
Whether it's this year or next year, I don't want to leave basketball limping out of basketball. At the end of the day, we're all men and we all look at ourselves every morning and you have to ask yourself, Did I leave the way I wanted? Did I do everything I possibly could do to leave the way I want?
Quote examples
Luke Shaw
English Athlete
I could hardly walk for six months, never mind play football. I was limping for so long. I was walking with crutches - as in, properly walking - after about the first month because I thought it was much better to put my body weight on and build up the strength.
Quote examples
Albert Brooks
American Actor
This getting old is something. I think I envy my dog, because my dog is sixteen, and she's limping, and she's still living, but she doesn't look at me like she knows. She's not thinking what I'm thinking. It's a cruel trick that we all know the ending.
Quote examples
Daniel Negreanu
Canadian Celebrity
Limping in - entering a pot by calling rather than raising - is more complicated than raise-or-fold poker because you'll end up playing more hands. Also, it's difficult to put players on a hand when they're in the pot without making a pre-flop raise.
Quote examples
Phil Hellmuth
American Celebrity
I normally raise pre-flop with K-K or A-A but occasionally I'll limp in, especially if it appears that the others at the table are playing tight. I don't want anyone to fold too soon when I've got such a big hand.
Quote examples
Scott Glenn
American Actor
When I was a kid, I had scarlet fever. I wasn't supposed to have survived it. When I got out of bed, my bones were so soft that they kind of bent. I had a slight limp for probably three years after.

Robert Mathis
American Athlete
Game has been good to me. I want to pay it forward. I want to leave it better than I found it. And injuries, I want to walk away. I don't want to limp away. Rest of my body goes to my kids.
