“We should do three things every day of our life. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is to think, we should spend some time in thought. And, number three is you should have your emotions moved to tears.”

Cancer can take away all of my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart, and it cannot touch my soul.

We have a very intelligent team. I’ve had clubs that when you tell a guy to go back door, he leaves the gym. Or you tell the team you’re going to have a closed practice and eight guys don’t show up.

Are you saying that the assistant had the answers all along, he just wasn’t telling anyone?

All really successful coaches have a system.

Now I’m fighting cancer, everybody knows that. People ask me all the time about how you go through your life and how’s your day, and nothing is changed for me.

Time is very precious to me. I don’t know how much I have left, and I have some things that I would like to say. Hopefully, at the end, I will have said something that will be important to other people, too.

I will thank God for the day and the moment I have.

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can’t trust em.

Conceive the inconceivable – then accomplish it.

No matter what business you’re in, you can’t run in place or someone will pass you by. It doesn’t matter how many games you’ve won.

You need to have a dream, a goal, and you must be willing to work hard.

Never give up! Failure and rejection are only the first step to succeeding.

Every day ordinary people do extra-ordinary things!

Never give up, never ever give up.

People think I have courage. The courage in my family are my wife Pam, my three daughters, here, Nicole, Jamie, LeeAnn, my mom, who’s right here too.

Why shouldn’t I milk it? We’re an agricultural institution.

In soloing – as in other activities – it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.

Many Christians have so busied themselves with programs and activities that they no longer know how to be silent and meditate on God’s word or recognize the mysteries that are in the Person of Christ.

The search for a new personality is futile; what is fruitful is the interest the old personality can take in new activities.

Strengthen your mind and refuse to carry the burden of mental and moral weakness acquired in past years; burn them in the fires of your present divine resolutions and right activities. By this constructive attitude you will attain freedom.

Only through repentance and faith in Christ can anyone be saved. No religious activity will be sufficient, only true faith in Jesus Christ alone.

It is not what a man does that is of final importance, but what he is in what he does. The atmosphere produced by a man, much more than his activities, has the lasting influence.

Painting transports me into another dimension which, quite literally, refreshes parts of the soul which other activities can’t reach.

Don’t confuse activity with productivity. Many people are simply busy being busy.
