Racing is a matter of spirit not strength.

Racing takes everything you've got -- intellectually, emotionally, physically -- and then you have to find about ten percent more and use that too.

It is a matter of spirit, not strength. It is a matter of doing your best each little moment. There's never a break. You must have desire, a very intense desire to keep going.

Let me ask you. If someone called you and offered you a ride in the Indianapolis 500 and you were a male race car driver, would you turn the ride down?

There is very little in civilized life that demands everything you got intellectually, physically, and emotionally. Driving is living. It's aggressive instead of passive living.

You drive the car, you don't carry it.

Racing is a calling, a passion.

Racing is a passion...at this level, a source of immense gratification. So the rest is no problem.

For life, too, is only an instant, Only the dissolving of ourselvesIn the selves of all othersAs if bestowing a gift –

It’s not about how you feel. It’s about what you do.

When you remain present to the goal at hand, you become ready to receive a powerful gift.

It is always the adventurous who accomplish great things.

Love points the way. Desire is its ignorant advisor.

Give me more. Let's do what has not been done.

I have worked out with the Thunder, Lakers, Knicks, Grizzlies, Spurs, and a few others before the draft. I have worked out primarily against shorter and supposedly faster players in these workouts.

We do not go to Holy Communion because we are good; we go to become good.

The wisest men are wise to the full in death.

Let's roll for justice, let's roll for truth. Let's not let our children grow up fearful in their youth.
