I won’t accept anything less than the best a player’s capable of doing… and he has the right to expect the best that I can do for him and the team!

I’ve been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.

The only shame is to have none.

What interests me in life is curiosity, challenges, the good fight with its victories and defeats.

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.

It’s lack that gives us inspiration. It’s not fullness.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.

It’s the job that’s never started as takes longest to finish.

The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.

Some men see things as they are, and say why. I dream of things that never were, and say why not.

I feel that God wants me to coach; otherwise, he wouldn’t have put the desire in me.

Let him that would move the world first move himself.

Through the right people focusing on the right things, we can, in time, get on top of a lot if not most of the problems of this world. And that’s what a number of us are trying to do.

If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased.

Stay hungry, stay foolish.

Virtually nothing is impossible in this world if you just put your mind to it and maintain a positive attitude.

Get up tomorrow early in the morning, and earlier than you did today, and do the best that you can. Always stay near me, for tomorrow I will have much to do and more than I ever had, and tomorrow blood will leave my body above the breast.

I came, I saw, I conquered.

So never lose an opportunity of urging a practical beginning, however small, for it is wonderful how often in such matters the mustard-seed germinates and roots itself.

I am never satisfied with myself and that is what keeps me going – I have no post-satisfaction.

You want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you.

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

Neither sex, without some fertilization of the complimentary characters of the other, is capable of the highest reaches of human endeavor.

Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all mankind.

So many people have this idea: I want to achieve something great or be somebody great. And they neglect the step that leads to greatness. They don’t honor this step at this moment because they have this idea of some future moment where they are going to be great.

I lived a sloppy life. So I took very small increments in my life. I started making my bed. I started cleaning my room. There were dishes in the sink. It started off with doing small house chores. I saw that the yard needed to be mowed. So instead of being told it needed to be mowed, I would mow it.

No great deed is done by falterers who ask for certainty.

Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn’t have the power to say yes.

God’s desire is that we excel.

Man is not made for defeat.

I think if I keep working in the way that I am, from the heart and from passion and with love, well, the fruits of that will keep coming.

Having the support from everyone, the bosses, whoever within the team, definitely makes it much easier for me as a driver.

I am not designed to come second or third. I am designed to win.

Let every dawn be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close.

Everything rises and falls on leadership.

Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.

I’ve made my share of mistakes along the way, but if I have changed even one life for the better, I haven’t lived in vain.

We must rekindle the fire of idealism in our society.

A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.

There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.

Why should I be studying for a future that soon may not exist?

You fail only if you stop writing.

I don’t fight in chase of an individual. I hear this sometimes where fighters work their whole careers to reach a matchup with a certain individual. I do not think in that way.

It started to weigh on me that I was responsible for the moves that had made me successful, but I wasn’t reaping the lion’s share of the profits, and that was problematic for me.

I’m pretty calculating. I take stuff that I know appeals to people’s bad sides and match it up with stuff that appeals to their good sides.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

People think that at the top there isn’t much room. They tend to think of it as an Everest. My message is that there is tons of room at the top.

I see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don’t believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.

Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.

Don’t work for recognition, but do work worthy of recognition.

The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That’s what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they’ll go through the pain no matter what happens.

My favorite affirmation when I feel stuck or out of sorts is: Whatever I need is already here, and it is all for my highest good. Jot this down and post it conspicuously throughout your home, on the dashboard of your car, at your office, on your microwave oven, and even in front of your toilets!

If a man has not discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.

Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don’t change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.

Applause is the spur of noble minds, the end and aim of weak ones.

When I’m in the studio, I’m looking for creativity I haven’t matched yet, a feeling I haven’t felt. It’s a high.

I don’t think I will ever be content. I am somebody who is always hungry.

In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it’s more dangerous to lose than to win.

To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short.
