“You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.

We know accurately only when we know little; doubt grows with knowledge.

One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.

There is no past we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternal now that builds and creates out of the past something new and better.

The intelligent man finds everything laughable, the sensible man hardly anything.

Doubt can only be removed by action.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him, he must regard himself as greater than he is.

God uses change to change us. He doesn’t use it to destroy us or to distract us, but to coax us to the next level of character, experience, compassion and destiny!

My ideal prom date would have to be cute, funny, sweet, nice.

Let women paint their eyes with tints of chastity.

Don’t walk through life just playing football. Don’t walk through life just being an athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone’s life, that’s the ultimate vision, that’s the ultimate goal – bottom line.

A man must not be without shame, for the shame of being without shame is shamelessness indeed.
