Talk:Juma Ikangaa

Will to prepare
Someone asked us over at Wikiquote to add the following quote by Ikangaa in some article:


 * The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare.

Now, I am not familiar with this person, but there are at least two books that were published before his listed birth date (July 19, 1957) that include the essential sentiment expressed in the quote, according to Google Book Search:


 * The will to win. We hear a lot about that. The will and the wish to win, but there isn't a chance for either one of them to be gratified or to have any value unless there has been a will to prepare to win…
 * Quotee not identified in limited GBS result; quoted in


 * It is all right to talk about this "will to win", but I tell you it is not of much worth unless you have the will to prepare…
 * Quotee not identified in limited GBS result; quoted in

Either Ikangaa was born much earlier (which doesn't seem likely, given his [unsourced] performance statistics) or someone said this before he was credited with saying it. Unfortunately, the limited GBS views for these books doesn't show the complete quote and quotee, so more work is needed to lock this quote down. Since this seems to be a significant element of Ikangaa's fame, based on this article's current prose content, I'd like to ask some assistance on finding the oldest sourced attributions for this quote, including Ikangaa's first use. Thank you. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:15, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
