Famous Quotes & Sayings

Sometimes you have to be careful when selecting a new name for yourself. For instance, let's say you have chosen the nickname "Fly Head."

I'm afraid some people might actually think that.

Chinese Proverbs

Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still

Marcus Spears

There's no question he would have been a great offensive lineman. He would have been an All-American ? if he had wanted to play. Back in high school, he'd rag-doll those poor kids.

There's nothing we won't do to try to bring success to Irish football. We need to spread our net, we need to find out where there are any more (players).

When I was growing up, my dad would encourage my brother and I to fail. We would be sitting at the dinner table and he would ask, 'So what did you guys fail at this week?' If we didn't have something to contribute, he would be disappointed. When I did fail at something, he'd high-five me. What I didn't realize at the time was that he was completely reframing my definition of failure at a young age. To me, failure means not trying; failure isn't the outcome. If I have to look at myself in the mirror and say, 'I didn't try that because I was scared,' that is failure.

Samuel Smiles

Progress however, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.
