I like to think of myself as a regular guy, except I play football for a living. I try not to be an arrogant turd out there.

People don't think I'm big enough to be mean. I don't look big enough, but I am.

You can call it ugly if you want, but I'd call it a win.

All I can do is go out there and play hard and try and help my team win, and that's what I'm going to keep doing.

I lead by example. But if I get pissed enough, I'll say something. It usually isn't rah-rah; it's more complaining.

How great a life is this? To get to knock guys' heads off for 60 minutes and not get thrown in jail?

My mom is my heart. But my [step]dad was my role model, the hardest working man I ever knew.

I love football in the rain. That is what it's all about.

We just want you to be happy. Rand and Marybeth said that all the time, but they never explained how.

I love it when there’s nothingLeft to see but tiny spots of what’s still lightStories piercing the night.

Some trees are too deeply rooted to move … And if they are uprooted, they will die…

God saves us because He loves us. It has nothing to do with our goodness or nobility, our achievements or agility. Our salvation depends completely upon our Savior.

I wanted to beat the heck out of the JV guys for that, except I wouldn't know what to do in a fistfight without a manual.

As a teenager and even still now being 21, it's always love questions - it's always so confusing.

A society that devours its own young deserves no automatic or unquestioning allegiance.

I've got a bit of money in the bank. I'm quite comfortable.

Fear is far more painful to cowardice than death to true courage.

President Barack Obama started by accepting the military's counterinsurgency, but came out of Afghanistan having decided that counterinsurgency actually doesn't work.
