“The worst thing about poverty is not the actual living of it, but the shame of it.”

I’m not happy all the time, and I wouldn’t want to be because that would make me a shallow person. But I do try to find the good in everybody.

Some memories you never forget.

If you can’t find the sunshine, make your own instead!

If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then you are an excellent leader.

A great friend is one you can share hair tips with.

It’s you who sets your stride!

My weaknesses have always been food and men – in that order.

Rainy days are just an excuse for pretty umbrellas. Don’t let it slow you down!

A kid can never have too many books!

I was quite emotional when I finished my lap, but had to wait for other drivers to cross the line to hear whether I’d actually done it.

There were years when I was a beer and tequila guy, then I got real fat. And then I found that you could actually go on a diet and drink scotch. Then I got hooked on scotch, and if you get hooked on scotch, then everything else just tastes wrong.

We must accept life for what it actually is – a challenge to our quality without which we should never know of what stuff we are made, or grow to our full stature.

A coach, especially at a college level – much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level – you’re more of a teacher than an actual coach.

You can get a decent mouthful of food in Warsaw or Chad if you look hard enough. It’s just I wouldn’t actually go there looking for the food.
