“Preparedness is the ultimate confidence builder.”

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 quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.

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

It is essential to understand that battles are primarily won in the hearts of men. Men respond to leadership in a most remarkable way and once you have won his heart, he will follow you anywhere.

Football isn’t a contact sport; it’s a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.

One must not hesitate to innovate and change with the times. The leader who stands still is not progressing, and he will not remain a leader for long.

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

Whatever anyone does or says, I must be emerald and keep my colour.

I’m a perfectionist; I’ll work until I drop.

Many of the things that seem impossible now will become realities tomorrow.

All the resources we need are in the mind.

A lot of people judged me. I like the way it looks, so you have to be confident.

If I can see it and believe it, then I can achieve it.

Things may happen and often do to people as brainy and footsy as you.

Confidence breeds confidence and negativity breeds negativity.
