Cause there's only one reason for doing anything that you set out to do. If you don't want to be the best, then there's no reason going out and trying to accomplish anything.

Winners, I am convinced, imagine their dreams first. They want it with all their heart and expect it to come true. There is, I believe, no other way to live.

When the game is over I just want to look at myself in the mirror, win or lose, and know I gave it everything I had.

Don't complain about not getting a chance and then be unprepared when you finally do.

Confidence is a very fragile thing.

Yeah, it's nice to look up to people, but the more you try to be somebody else, the less you are of yourself.

Always be prepared to start.

Some guys practice like all-Americans but they can't play!

I started a business with two guys I played with, Ronnie Lott and Harris Barton: Champion Ventures, it's a fund of funds. We have $400 million or so under management.

In sports... you play from the time you're eight years old, and then you're done forever.

Especially in football, it is not a QB's game... even though the media likes to make it into that - it takes the whole team.

If you understand this basic concept, it becomes clear that every spending decision is a spiritual decision. Waste, for example, is not a squandering of our resources. It is a poor use of His.

Measure thy life by loss instead of gain Not by the wine drunk but by the wine poured forth.

That's one problem I have. Jews when they get successful they will help their people and some of the African-Americans - maybe I'll get in trouble again - they don't want to help anybody.

When ancient opinions and rules of life are taken away, the loss cannot possibly be estimated. From that moment, we have no compass to govern us, nor can we know distinctly to what port to steer.

The sum of human wisdom is not contained in any one language.

No reform ever came from the bottom, and it was always people who understood how the ruling class worked who turned out to be the reformers.

No sincere desire of doing good need make an enemy of a single human being; that philanthropy has surely a flaw in it which cannot sympathize with the oppressor equally as with the oppressed.

Having been born and raised in Washington, D.C., you kind of absorb politics when you grow up. And it continues to be a focus of mine, probably more than what is healthy for me.

As a landscape photographer we should be open to possibilities, for one thing often leads to another.
