“If winning weren’t important nobody would keep score.”

I don’t believe in looking past anybody – I wouldn’t look past the Little Sisters of the Poor after they stayed up all night.

I don’t believe in worrying over failures. I worry about successes. This is opposite from most people.

When I’m losing, they call me nuts. When I’m winning, they call me eccentric.

That’s not my world. My world has a cracked sidewalk.

Live in the moment that you are in.

If you’re straight with your players, they’ll be straight with you.

Keep it simple, when you get too complex you forget the obvious.

The only mystery in life is why the kamikaze pilots wore helmets.

So they should make a great effort, a Mount Everest type effort, to live up to their potential. Success is a communal type thing.

I want my team to have my personality: surly, obnoxious, and arrogant.

I just can’t recruit where there’s grass around.

If we hooked up, he could write me ballads and stuff. You gotta admit, nothing’s sexier than a guy who writes music.

Your mom isnt going to let me step foot inside this place. Ive seen the gun she keeps on the top shelf of the pantry.

Don’t hate life and death or love life and death. Keep your every thought free of delusion, and in life you’ll witness the beginning of nirvana, and in death you’ll experience the assurance of no rebirth.

We keep hearing from [Barack] Obama and Hillary Clinton and Washington Republicans that they’re searching for these mythical moderate rebels. It’s like a purple unicorn. They never exist. These moderate rebels end up being jihadists.

If you keep running from me, you’re never going to figure out what’s really going on.

I hope we don’t have to keep going back over the same territory and winning the same rights over and over again. The battle for birth control. The battle for abortion.

Keep pace with the present. Take a trip to the moon. envision the future.
