If you think you are working hard, you can work harder. If you think you are doing enough, there is more that you can do. No one really ever exhausts his full potential.

A guy who gives you less than what he has to give is, one, telling you what he thinks of you, and two, telling you what he thinks of himself.

The two ingredients in success in basketball are playing hard and playing intelligently.

If you yell at a kid and he gets mad at you, you've lost him. If you yell at a kid and he gets mad at himself, then you have something.

In a team sport like basketball, every time you help somebody else, you help yourself.

I don't recruit players who are nasty to their parents. I look for players who realize the world doesn't revolve around them.

Love can open like a flower out of even the hardest places.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

The bigger the challenge, the bigger the sense of accomplishment when you get to the end of it.

O star-eyed Science, hast thou wander'd there, To waft us home the message of despair?
