In the end, as a manager or coach, you have to keep your heart pure and do your best as a manager or a coach.

I'm a great believer in the character of the club. To me, character has a lot to do with how you compete. That creates urgency and toughness. That elevates the talent that you have.

Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.

Pressure comes when someone calls on you to perform a task for which you are unprepared.

Play the game right. If you play the game intelligently and execute the fundamentals, you can win.

In fact, being a unique individual is as much of a farce as trying to be like everyone else. Maybe more.

You are never to old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

In the metropolitan haunts of the highly sophisticated, the cocktail is no longer an instrument of friendship but a competitive fashion statement, or one-upmanship.

Upon hearing via Littlewood an exposition on the theory of relativity: To think I have spent my life on absolute muck.

It took me a long time to learn that mistakes aren't good or bad, they're just mistakes, and you clean them up and go on.

Certainly survival is important- very important- but at some point surviving wasn't enough. I felt ready to complete my surviving journey and start thriving and just living.

A woman's beauty is a treasure beyond price.
