“Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I’ll show you someone who has overcome adversity.”

One thing about me is I try to be honest.

Each guy is charged with upholding his end, nothing more. In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely.

Everybody from the Big Ten is going to play the ACC. Everybody from the Big East is going to play the Pac-10.

This was due to the fact that they encouraged you always to make sure that God is the focus of your life, and they didn’t allow you to do anything except to the very best of your ability.

Successful people will always tell you you can do something. It’s the people who have never accomplished anything who will always discourage you from trying to achieve excellent things.

All an agent is going to do is buy things for a player, damage his eligibility, and make the player dependent on them.

In football, it’s the job of the player to play, the coach to coach, the official to officiate.

We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin – and it’s gonna happen – confession puts us back on the field.

We have so many athletes do so many wonderful things for other people, and you never read about it.

I’ll assure you this: I will have nothing to do with politics.

Life is too damn short and [screwed] up to go through it silently loving someone and never telling them how you feel. [Screw]

Life is not meaningful…unle ss it is serving an end beyond itself; unless it is of value to someone else.

I wonder why people like to believe I’m high all the time. I guess . . . maybe they think someone else can take their trip for them.

I won’t quit to become someone’s old lady.

If someone comes along, gonna give you some love and affection, I say get it while you can.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Sometimes she wished for someone she could tell about her problems, just to be able to say, ‘I’m in love with a man and I can’t have him.’ But that would only lead to questions she couldn’t answer, so she kept the secret and the pain inside, hoping someday she would no longer feel as if half of her were missing.
