I was given a tremendous gift in terms of athleticism. Maybe it was because I wasn't so confident in other areas.

Somewhere behind the athlete you've become and the hours of practice and the coaches who have pushed you is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back... play for her.

My coach said I ran like a girl, I said if he could run a little faster he could too

Celebrate what you've accomplished, but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed.

I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.

A winner is that person who gets up one more time than she is knocked down.

Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.

I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match.

I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.

The backbone of success is...hard work, determination, good planning, and perserverence.

Words to invoke peace & awareness. Words to create freedom and fairness. Words to plant sacred seeds. and sing us back into balance.

The past is the best prophet of the future.

The older I get, the more fun it is to write young people. It's just a holiday from what is becoming old age, really.

I would expect an extremely high percentage of the chickens would test positive. Our poultry industry clients wouldn't like that.

Nothing remains beautiful and interesting except thought, because the thought is the life.

Winning takes precedence over all. There's no gray area. No almosts.

Understand why casinos and racetracks stay in business - the gambler always loses over the long term.

Accept everything just the way it is.

I believe a visible church to be a congregation of those who make a credible profession of their faith in Christ, and obedience to him, joined by the bond of the covenant.
