You don't just want to beat a team. You want to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see your face again.

Somewhere behind the athlete you've become and the hours of practice and the coaches who have pushed you is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back... play for her.

A winner is that person who gets up one more time than she is knocked down.

I would say my sense of adventure outweighs my grace.

Were floods of tears to be unloosed In tribute to my grief, The doves of Noah ne'er had roost Nor found an olive-leaf.

We have to sell conservatism to non-conservatives. We have to take our principles and apply them to problems and go sell them to people. We need to show that we have better ideas.
