I am against making golf courses obsolete, going to the national Open and playing half the holes with a one-iron.

It's a funny thing, the more I practice the luckier I get.

I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.

The most rewarding things you do in life are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.

Always make a total effort, even when the odds are against you.

What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive.

Success in golf depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character.

Concentration comes out of a combination of confidence and hunger.

The secret of concentration is the secret of self-discovery. You reach inside yourself to discover your personal resources, and what it takes to match them to the challenge.

If you're stupid enough to whiff, you should be smart enough to forget it.

If you can see it, you can hit it and if you can hit it, you can hole it.

Prayer begets peace.

Life brings only so much luck which when used up leaves you without a safety net.

The miracle lies in the newness of a morning.

To be aware how fruitful the playful mood can be is to be immune to the propaganda of the alienated, which extols resentment as a fuel of achievement.

I have my favorite authors, but in reality, my mother did. Though she's never written a book, she paved the way for me to.

Virtue is not malicious; wrong done her Is righted even when men grant they err.

You can't win if you don't play as a unit.

When you're happy for no reason, you're unconditionally happy. It's not that your life always looks perfect - it's just that however it looks, you'll still be happy.

Thus strangely are our souls constructed, and by slight ligaments are we bound to prosperity and ruin.

But never give your love, my friend, Unto a foolish heart
