“I don’t think there’s anybody in this organization not focused on the 49ers…I mean Chargers.”

I think it’s relatively easy to play defense against a team that can only do one thing. Unfortunately, that’s not what we’re talking about here with Seattle.

I think that we’ll continue to try to look at ourselves in the mirror and see where we can do a better job, maybe where we can improve the process. But I think the fundamentals of the process will remain the same.

I’m trying to coach the team and that’s what I want to do.

Whatever success I’ve had it is because I’ve tried to understand the situation of the player. I think the coach’s duty is to avoid complicating matters.

I feel like I’ve had a strong relationship with Robert [Kraft] and his family since I was here in 1996 and I think it’s gotten stronger every year that I’ve been here with the Patriots.

This is the end of this subject for me for a long time.

Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it’s not the best thing for you.

I think a smart guy can learn. Some guys learn – it’s just like all of us – some guys can learn electronics, some of us can’t.

Each decision will be done on a case-by-case basis and we’ll make the decision we feel is best for the New England Patriots football team.

The more things we do together, talk about together, work together on, the closer we become and the more we rely on each other. I feel like our relationship is very close and continues to grow closer every year as we grow older together.

For a team to accomplish their goal, everybody’s got to give up a little bit of their individuality.

That has never been a priority for me and I want the players to deal with a harder situation in practice than they’ll ever have to deal with in the game. Maybe that’s part of our ball security philosophy.

To live in the past is to die in the present.

Some guys, football comes really easy to them; they can see what all 22 players are doing, can see what all 11 guys are doing on their side of the ball, how it all fits together. It’s easy for them.

I am who I am. In the end, I feel that what I’m accountable for is doing a good job as a football coach.

I’m not going to be able to talk about the people who are involved specifically in any ongoing judicial process.

Part of your mission in life then must be to share your gifts with as many people as possible. That means being willing to play big.

I had come to a place where I was meant to be. I don’t mean anything so prosaic as a sense of coming home. This was different, very different. It was like arriving at a place much safer than home.

Here’s an equation I want you to remember for the rest of your life: CZ = WZ. It means your “comfort zone” equals your “wealth zone.” By expanding your comfort zone, you will expand the size of your income and wealth zone.

I’d be a conservative if I’d never met any. They’re selfish, mean-spirited, egocentric, reactionary, and boring.

Family does not necessarily mean blood relatives but often a description of a community, organisation or nation.

It means that your will and God’s will may not be the same. It means there’s a good possibility that you won’t get what you pray for. It means that in spite of your prayers you are going to suffer.

What I mean by photographing as a participant rather than observer is that I’m not only involved directly with some of the activities that I photograph, such as mountain climbing, but even when I’m not I have the philosophy that my mind and body are part of the natural world

The truth is few people “think” big and even fewer “play” big. Why? Because “big” often means big responsibilitie s, big hassles and big problems. They look at that “bigness” and shrink. They’re smaller than their problems.
