“Sometimes I have no idea whats going on.”

You take five fingers. Individually, I can pin any one of them, but if I pin them together (makes a fist), it’s damn near impossible to turn this around.

I don’t know a man on this Earth who can outwork me.

I prepare so no one can take what is mine, no one can replace my mind, my heart.

Everything I got, I’m willing to sacrifice.

I’ve got kids that are always watching and I taught them to always finish something you started.

The only thing that could pull me away, was hard work.

I figured something out. And it is no secret what I figured out. Whatever the majority of people were doing, I found myself doing the opposite. I wanted to chase something great.

If tomorrow wasn’t promised, what would you give for today?

You don’t have to win it, just don’t lose it.

You have to be honest about who you are.

Some of these kids are spending more time with the coaches than they are with their parents. The coach is supposed to be raising these kids, not belittling them and talking to them like the world is coming to an end.

One of the things I’ve always said is that if you’re given the ability to coach kids, then you’re really given the ability to be a father or parent of some sort.

I like to see honesty out of people. People who are trustworthy. I like to see people who are involved with The Lord.

I have so much respect for people that are my elders. You aren’t going to hear me cursing around people that are 60 and 70 years old.

The only thing that follows work is results.

I fight for the man next to me. It don’t matter about me, what matters about me is sacrificing for you; for the ultimate goal which is us.

The idea that marriage has to be for all time – that I don’t understand.

The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.

Woman’s degradation is in mans idea of his sexual rights. Our religion, laws, customs, are all founded on the belief that woman was made for man.

They sold us the idea of happiness at the price of actual happiness.

Misguided people sometimes create misguided ideas. Some of my ancestors were Oromo. How can I colonize myself?

That’s the great secret of creativity. You treat ideas like cats: you make them follow you.

I don’t read such small stuff as letters, I read men and nations. I can see through a millstone, though I can’t see through a spelling-book. What a narrow idea a reading qualification is for a voter!

Now is the time to understand That all your ideas of right and wrong Were just a child’s training wheels to be laid aside When you finally live With veracity And love.
