Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated.
You live up - or down - to your expectations.
If what you did yesterday seems big, you haven't done anything today.
You were not born a winner, and you were not born a loser. You are what you make yourself be.
You aren't going to find anybody that's going to be successful without making a sacrifice and without perseverance.
The standards you establish for others must reflect the standards you set for yourself. No one will follow a hypocrite.
My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961. The pay wasn't much, so to get $300 more per year, I agreed to coach the golf team. I didn't even know how to keep score, and really, my main job was not to wreck the van on the way to tournaments.
Adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. I never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger.
On this team, we're all united in a common goal: to keep my job.
Only the unprepared are overcome by pressure
Build your empire on the firm foundation of the fundamentals.
I've never known anybody to achieve anything without overcoming adversity.
In this world you're either growing or you're dying so get in motion and grow.
I believe that having a spiritual life is so important in everybody's life.
