My ability to concentrate and work toward that goal has been my greatest asset.

Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one's level of aspiration and expectation.

I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head.

Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game's two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.

Pursue what you love, what you are passionate about. Don't let somebody else dictate your life's path.

Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation.

Confidence is the most important single factor in this game, and no matter how great your natural talent, there is only one way to obtain and sustain it: work.

Talent isn't as important as the work and dedication necessary to become competent.

The worse you're performing, the more you must work mentally and emotionally. The greatest and toughest art in golf is "playing badly well." All the true greats have been masters at it.

I'm a firm believer that in the theory that people only do their best at things they truly enjoy. It is difficult to excel at something you don't enjoy.

A kid grows up a lot faster on the golf course. Golf teaches you how to behave.

Sometimes the only way to gain someones favor is to stop giving them yours.

You don't kill your way to peace.

No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again.

One seeks to know the self better in order to know God better.

I don't believe in writer's block. I don't know what that is. There are just certain little areas that I know I'm going to get through. It's just a matter of finding a way.

If someone were to think that trees are made to support the sky, they would all seem too short.

You know, I want to eat junk food. My kids love junk food.

I will to my dying day oppose with all the powers and faculties God has given me, all such instruments of slavery on the one hand, and villainy on the other, as this writ of assistance is.

Children who know they are loved, know they have a purpose, and know they have a hope are prepared for anything this world wants to dish up.

No villainous bounty yet hath passed my heart; Unwisely, not ignobly, have I given.
