“Don’t ever let good enough be good enough.”

The media dwells mostly on negativity.

Being arrested that also changed everything for me because I was suddenly seeing America from a different perspective all together. I did a couple of weeks in a county jail.

You ask yourself, ‘What do you want your legacy to be?’ I’m content at this point to say, ‘Those who follow me.’ Romeo Crennel, Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, to name a few. I think I’ve got a pretty good group, so far.

I like linebackers. I collect ’em. You can’t have too many good ones.

I think a lot of times people design restaurants with flash in mind. I think you should design restaurants with function in mind.

All the backs in the history of this game are the same when there isn’t any hole to run through.

My entire life has been spent thinking about this game. That’s pretty narrow… I don’t view myself as a person who’s well-versed in very many subjects. I’m not proud of that.

I grew up under demanding people, that demanded things from you, expected you to toe the mark.

If you have fun, fine. It’s not all life and death.

I have a house in Saratoga Springs.

Nowadays, if you are afraid of confrontation, you are not going to do very well.

It’s better to decide wrongly than weakly. If you’re weak, you’re likely to be wrong anyway.

If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s a quarterback who thinks playing quarterback is just about passing.

I love the game. I think it’s a great game because you find out a lot about yourself. You test your mettle every week.

Meditation is a skilful letting go: gently but with resolution.

Letting go a little brings a little peace. Letting go a lot brings a lot of peace. Letting go completely brings complete peace.

If you let go a little you will have a little happiness.

The deadly weapon against totalitarian society is openness – doing everything very openly on the Internet, letting people know every detail, any little development. Once it is out there, everybody can make their own judgement.

Instead of becoming the world’s expert on Buddhism, just let go, let go, let go.

Do everything with a mind that lets go. Do not expect praise or reward.

We do it, not with desire, but with letting go. If you want anything, you wont find it.

Once you understand non-self, then the burden of life is gone. You’ll be at peace with the world. When we see beyond self, we no longer cling to happiness and we can truly be happy.
