All other passions do occasional good; but when pride puts in its word everything goes wrong.

Superstition, in all times and among all nations, is the fear of a spirit whose passions are those of a man, whose acts are the acts of a man; who is present in some places, not in others; who makes no places holy and not others; who is kind to one person, unkind to another; who is pleased or angry according to the degree of attention you pay him, or praise you refuse to him; who is hostile generally to human pleasure, but may be bribed by sacrifice of a part of that pleasure into permitting the rest. This, whatever form of faith it colors, is the essence of superstition.

Competitive sports keep alive in us a spirit and vitality. Sports teach the strong to know when they are weak and the brave to face themselves when they are afraid; to be proud and unbowed in defeat, and yet humble and gentle in victory; to master ourselves before we attempt to master others; to learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep; and to give the predominance of courage over timidity.

Douglas Rushkoff

Golf is no longer a game of hitting the ball, finding it, and hitting it again.

From the first days of my career as an entrepreneur, I have always used my own and my team's lack of experience to our advantage.

Our inexperience fed our restless enthusiasm for trying new things, which became part of our core mission.
