Your problems are never bigger than your purpose.

This is the greatest thing about sports - you play to win the game. Hello? You don't play to just play it. When you start telling me it doesn't matter, then retire, get out, because it matters.

You play to win the game...Hello. You play to win the game.

Stay focused. Your start does not determine how you're going to finish.

A goal without a plan is a wish.

Talk is free. You never know what's going to happen after you talk. There's always a perception about a guy until you actually sit down and talk with him.

You play to win the game.

Your history doesn't need to dictate your destiny

Becoming a father made me much more interested in the parent character in my novels. I've never found parents that interesting.

Beyond the limits of a vulgar fate, Beneath the good how far,-but far above the great.
