I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.

Victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

You will achieve your grand dream, a day at a time, so set goals for each day.

Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.

Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again.

I will not allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure.

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.

If you do not manage power, it will burn you.

If I left any good or planted any flowers among thorns, the credit goes to God and my many substantial friends.

Transferring my anger and pain onto paper turns it into something tangible, something that can be shredded or burned, or at the very least, sealed shut in a box. ~Call Me Tuesday

The introduction of many minds into many fields of learning along a broad spectrum keeps alive questions about the accessibility, if not the unity, of knowledge.

Most of what we call the classics of world literature suggest artifacts in a wax museum. We have to hire and pay professors to get them read and talked about.

Man never knows what he wants; he aspires to penetrate mysteries and as soon as he has, wants to re-establish them. Ignorance irritates him and knowledge cloys.

I suppose my biggest concern would be if the planet is going to be in good enough shape for the next generation to have the privileges that we've had.

Fortunately, I've never had a job

As an athlete, I've always been very proud to represent the United States.
