Too many people look on outscoring someone as winning, I never tried to get that across to my players.

Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.

Passion is momentary love is enduring.

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Just do the best you can. No one can do more than that.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.

Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

Winning takes talent; to repeat takes character.

You must learn to see everything around yourself as a resources, your opportunities, and turn them into your weapons to get them working in your favor, in order to achieve your goal

People have their own opinions but sometimes with the media things get chopped up and cut around to make stories out of it.

You can't find your voice if you don't use it.

I've always used Old English in certain songs.

People ask me, Jimmy, howd you get here tonight. Lets just say it involved a two-hour make-out session with Elaine Stritch. It got pretty heavy actually, I almost had to host.

Wink and shut their apprehensions up.

Self-defense...is the only honourable course where there is unreadiness for self-immolation.

Realize that the banality around us that passes as "hipness" or "mass culture" is as satisfying as "mass food"-only it comes in much more unappetizing portions.

I thought of breaking down the door, but there's nothing left to say. That Chevy four by four says it all, sitting in my place.
