I know there are millions of people praying for me, and I strongly believe in prayers.

Ever since I was a little kid, I was competitive.

I don't just think regular season. I think playoffs. World Series. That's how I think.

If you don't control your emotions, your emotions will control your acts, and that's not good.

I never give up. If you beat me, you have to beat me one, three, four, five times, and I still don't give up.

Don't worry about what the people say; be yourself, say what you want to say WITH respect.

I have nothing to ask for, thanks to God. Everything I have, God has given me.

I think that it's important to have good people around you, like my friends.

Where I lived, it was a cold mining place, a village called Dunston. The only time you saw a Rolls-Royce was when somebody died.

I thought instead of burying myself under dirt, I'd bury myself under water so everybody could see that you're there.

We all have auras. But it's much easier to see the aura of someone who is in a state of samadhi or other profound state of awareness.

It's a wise person, I guess, who knows he's dumb, and an honest person who knows he's a liar. And it's a dumb person, I guess, whose convinced he's wise...-Bob Slocum

We cannot take a single step toward heaven. It is not in our power to travel in a vertical direction. If however we look heavenward for a long time, God comes and takes us up.
