I wasn't real quick, and I wasn't real strong. Some guys will just take off and it's like, whoa. So I beat them with my mind and my fundamentals.

A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

Don't let winning make you soft. Don't let losing make you quit. Don't let your teammates down in any situation.

I've got a theory that if you give 100% all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.

I learned what my weaknesses were and I went out the next day to turn those weaknesses intro strengths.

My coach told me, "Larry, no matter how much you work at it, there's always someone out there who's working just a little harder - if you take 150 practice shots, he's taking 200." And that drove me.

I don't think that once you get to one level, you can relax. You've got to keep pushing.

You're all playin' for second place.

I hate to lose more than I like to win.

Only God can judge me so I'm gone, either love me or leave me alone.

In such a regime, I say, you died a good death if your life had inspired someone to come forward and shoot your murderer in the chest-without asking to be paid.

It is highly unlikely that an airplane, or fleet of them, could ever sink a fleet of Navy vessels under battle conditions.

Are you Polish? Okay, I'll talk slower.

When I die I just want to be remembered as a Christian.

How you all will change the work after I am gone. If I came back a hundred years from now, I just wonder if I would even recognize it.

I have seen the breakups between people who love each other and rush into getting married too quickly and I do not want to make that mistake.

A lover would find life less broken apart after a misguided love affair if they could feel that they had been sinful rather than foolish.

It is sometimes hard to grasp the difference between identifying with one's own roots, understanding people with other roots, and judging what is good or bad.
