I'm not much of a golfer, I don't have any friends and all I like to do is go home and be alone, and not worry about ways not to lose.

It's not the will to win that matters-everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters.

You never know how a horse will pull until you hook him to a heavy load.

Don't give up at half time. Concentrate on winning the second half.

Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit.

Sure, I'd love to beat Notre Dame, don't get me wrong. But nothing matters more than beating that cow college on the other side of the state!

There is a big difference in wanting to and willing to.

Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.

I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.

I’d venture to guess that a list of things you know nothing about could fill volumes.

Don’t ask a writer what he’s working on. It’s like asking someone with cancer on the progress of his disease.

Sometimes decisions get made and it ends up being God doing for you what you couldn't do for yourself.

Suffering for eight hours...the most unpleasant experience I've ever had.

Rejection kills, disappointment only maims.

Can my words distill for you a little sweetness, tender and caressing?

I'm afraid the negative things are always the great subjects. Failure is much more interesting than success.

I think about being married again, having a home and a wife. No one can ever be married too many times, and maybe if I keep trying I'll get it right one day.

Complaining is another way of saying to others, YOU SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
