I wanted to do two things when I was growing up, about your age. I wanted to play in the NBA, and I wanted to be a businessman after my basketball career was over, and that is what I am doing now.

In life, winning and losing will both happen. What is never acceptable is quitting.

Talent is never enough. With few exceptions the best players are the hardest workers.

All kids need is a little help, a little hope and somebody who believes in them.

You're the only one who can make the difference. Whatever your dream is, go for it.

Because if you're going to lose, lose. I'm serious.

I think you just have to keep knocking down doors, you have to keep being aggressive, and even if somebody says 'No', then you have to knock on the next door.

Just celebrate the life you had, not the life you could've had.

I am a businessman. This is what I do each and every day. I love it. I love coming to work. I never have a bad day.

Appreciation always enhances performance. Criticism destroys the enthusiasm.

He is nearest to the gods who knows how to be silent.

I like things that are educational and educational. I like things that are inspirational.

Truly, the worst trains take one across the best landscapes.

There is no faster way of destroying a man, or mocking his ideas, than making him fashionable.

Pretending to be 'normal' is a lot harder than you think.

You can truly miss characters. Not like you miss people, but you can still miss them.
