Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.

Passion is momentary love is enduring.

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Just do the best you can. No one can do more than that.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.

Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

Don't fall in love with a bonobo, because it's gonna die.

Television captures the mind but does not liberate it. A good book at once stimulates and frees the mind.

I believe in the American Dream because I have lived the American Dream.

I love being Italian.

If trying harder doesn't work, try softer.

You can be a top, top player for 10, 20 years, then you become a coach, lose two or three games and you're out.

Take you me for a sponge?
