“After you retire, there’s only one big event left….and I ain’t ready for that.”

I am not happy with moral victories. Those things are forgotten.

I learned more from the mistakes than from the good things.

I guess I’ll retire someday if I live that long.

I’ve always said it takes more courage to stand back there and throw a ball knowing you’re fixing to get drilled than anything I can think of in football.

If their IQ’s where five points lower they’d be geraniums.

I used to get mad because nobody else would play Miami. Notre Dame would play them, then drop them. Florida dropped them. Penn State dropped them.

The greatest mistake is to continue to practice a mistake.

Don’t go to the grave with life unused.

That boy don’t know the meaning of the word fear. In fact, I just saw his grades, and that boy don’t know the meaning of a lot of words.

Sportsmanship to me is going out and playing as hard as you can within the rules.

I grew up listening to the quartets and I loved that so much that I wanted to see if I could make music and make it happen. It was just a series of events … me going to concerts and saying “I think I can do that”.

The first need of being is endurance; to endure with gladness if we can, with fortitude in any event.

Our past is not, as some fear, a series of events carved in stone that we must carry around for the rest of our lives… but a kaleidoscope of experiences that, when viewed through different lenses, can ‘color’ (change) how we see our present and future.

I’ve been producing documentaries on global warming for 20 years and have seen the early warnings of extreme weather events come true.

It’s in the nature of television to restrain the spontaneity of a live event. Things become more and more prepackaged.

We use the web to help people organize in the flesh, and then we take the images of those events and put them back on the web to make them add up to more than the sum of their parts.

History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That’s why events are always reinterpreted when values change.

Dread not events unknown, and be not downhearted, for the fountain of the water of life is involved in obscurity.
