“We didn’t lose the game; we just ran out of time.”

The darkest moments of our lives are not to be buried and forgotten, rather they are a memory to be called upon for inspiration to remind us of the unrelenting human spirit and our capacity to overcome the intolerable.

If you can accept losing, you can’t win.

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 look at records, that’s not why I’m playing the game. Goals, of course. Every player in my position wants to score goals.

It’s important to take each game as a new one because carrying the highs or the lows from previous games might disturb your mindset.

Politics is not a baseball game with winners or losers. What politics is about is whether we protect the needs of millions of people in this country who are hurting.

I’ve always loved to play games, and face it: investing is one big game. You need to be decisive, open-minded, flexible and competitive.

So proud to reach 1000 official games in my career with a very important victory that put us on the top of the table again!

The basketball court for me, during a game, is the most peaceful place I can imagine. On the basketball court, I worry about nothing. When I’m out there, no one can bother me.

People talk about PlayStations, video games, social network and Twitter; I can’t handle it.

Life is more fun if you play games.
