The game is meant to be fun.

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.

All the breakthroughs and miracles you need are in people

A man touched me: his hand... my thigh.I touched him too: my fist... his jaw.

Gratitude is born in hearts that take time to count up past mercies.

In a burning building I would save a cat before a Rembrandt.

I like songs that sound like classics. There are songs that might be cooler or have better production, but I like songs that sound like they're timeless.

I am 73 years old. I've seen everything. I've met the kings, the queens, the presidents, I've been around the world. I have one thing that I would like to do: to try to reach peace.

Maybe when people longed for a thing that bad the longing made them trust in anything that might give it to them.

I wanna try and stay a student for life.

I look at you and you look at me and deep in our hearts know it That you weren't much of a muse, but then I weren't much of a poet
