The wisdom of my 45 years has met and joined simplicity and it has drawn a long and merry smile:)

There are only two options regarding commitment; you’re either in or you’re out.

A champion needs a motivation above and beyond winning.

I ask you: turn a deaf ear to the special interests. Let politics stand down for a while. don't waste anytime thinking about future elections until we've done our jobs here.

You have to defeat a great players aura more than his game.

Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.

Shoulda, coulda, and woulda won't get it done. In attacking adversity, only a positive attitude, alertness, and regrouping to basics can launch a comeback.

Excellence happens when you try each day to both do and be, a little better than you were yesterday!

The key to teamwork is to learn a role, accept a role, and strive to become excellent playing it.

Continuous, unflagging effort, persistence and determination will win. Let not the man be discouraged who has these.

Don't let other people tell you what you want.

Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter could be said to remedy anything.

There are no walls, no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind.

Theoretically speaking a good reader should also be a good learner, whatever the century and the place!

If evil had a laugh, she thought it would sound like his.

One has to be careful, whenever one tells a story about a great injustice. We are a species that loves narrative, but has been taught not to trust an individual speaker.

I love going to other people's weddings, but I have never desired a big white wedding for myself, and it has never been put on me as a pressure, an expectation.

If you listen to the neverdo's, it's never done.

I think that a song, when it works, never mind a piece of long form music, even a song is something that speaks to itself but has a language all of its own, ideally.

I tried the plan of talking incessantly myself, so as to hide the fact I didn't hear anything they said, the result was nobody paid the slightest attention to my (doubtless brilliant) remarks.

I have more care to stay than will to go.
