“I think that in any group activity – whether it be business, sports, or family – there has to be leadership or it won’t be successful.”

Ability is a poor man’s wealth.

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

It’s not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.

The best competition I have is against myself to become better.

Champions never complain, they are too busy getting better.

I like to spend time in the past, with the things that have been important to me.

Don’t let making a living prevent you from making a life.

Just try to be the best you can be; never cease trying to be the best you can be. That’s in your power.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation.

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

I’m not afraid to die.

Never lie, never cheat, never steal.

Earn the right to be proud and confident.

Passion is momentary; love is enduring.

It takes time to create excellence. If it could be done quickly, more people would do it.

I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession.
