I'm looking to find a quote (preferably from a significant individual) that shows a link between experience gained through athletics and military leadership. It can also be something relating sports to statecraft, politics and/or cultural understanding in a positive way. A quote about sports bringing nations of all backgrounds together could also work well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

hmm.. maybe search for an old greek saying about the olympics? they were created to bring the factions together and stop war, and it deasl with sports.

Good luck
