I believe you can do 99 percent of the things right but not possess a positive winning attitude, and you will fail.

Remember, before you can be great, you've got to be good. Before you can be good, you've got to be bad. But before you can even be bad, you've got to try.

I'm not telling you it is going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.

Most people can stay excited for two or three months. A few people can stay excited for two or three years. But a winner will stay excited for twenty or thirty years...or as long as it takes to win.

Win with your heart, not your head - win on emotion, not in logic; have a passion about what you do; nobody wants a boss, everybody wants a coach.

The number one problem that keeps people from winning in the United States today is lack of belief in themselves.

All you can do is all you can do, but all you can do is enough.

A crusade is, simply put, something that's bigger than you are. It's a "cause" with an impact that reaches beyond your personal wants and needs.

You can give in to the failure messages and be a bitter deadbeat of excuses. Or you can choose to be happy and positive and excited about life.

I don't want to be pigeonholed into doing just romantic comedies. But they're fun, and especially for women, it's nice to go to see them and enjoy that breath of fresh air.

I want to get married and have children and live happily ever after. That's important to me.

Almost any decision is better than no decision -- just keep moving.

The good or ill of a man lies within his own will.

I want to stress that at no time Bolivia acts untimely or irresponsibly.

Because one has to be an optimist to begin an ambitious project, it is not surprising that underestimation of completion time is the norm.

McCovey swings and misses, and it's fouled back.

I said, 'I need to know how he died.' He flipped back and pointed at, 'Why?' So I can stop inventing how he died. I'm always inventing.

Lakers were able to maintain a certain level of talent and success and so were the Celtics. So after awhile it became part of people's sports lore...

Love without desire is a delusion: it does not exist in nature.
