“They do not truly love who do not show their love.”

Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is.

Most people fail, not because of lack of desire, but, because of lack of commitment.

Everyone has a will to win but very few have the will to prepare to win.

Preparedness is the ultimate confidence builder.

The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.

Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success, it enables you to ignore the minor hurts, the opponent’s pressure, and the temporary failures.

Coaches who can outline plays on a black board are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.

There is no substitute for work.

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. Every job is a self portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with excellence.

Winners never quit and quitters never win.

Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

Don’t succumb to excuses. Go back to the job of making the corrections and forming the habits that will make your goal possible.

You defeat defeatism with confidence.

Beat your opponent where he is strongest, and you demoralize him.

I don’t necessarily have to like my players and associates but as their leader I must love them. Love is loyalty, love is teamwork, love respects the dignity of the individual. This is the strength of any organization.

I will demand a commitment to excellence and to victory, and that is what life is all about.

The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.

Some people never try to move forward because they are afraid of falling behind.

We are all just infinities, bounded by our bodies, trying to find forever in a numbered days.

The amazing thing about us as humans is we’re capable of loving more than one person in our lifetime.

I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.

A human being is a deciding being.

Everyone knows your worth, they just hope you don’t.

The life of a single human being is worth millions of times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.
