I thoroughly enjoy working with kids, whether it's The First Tee or the lesson tee with my grandkids.

Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one's level of aspiration and expectation.

I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head.

Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game's two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.

Pursue what you love, what you are passionate about. Don't let somebody else dictate your life's path.

Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation.

Confidence is the most important single factor in this game, and no matter how great your natural talent, there is only one way to obtain and sustain it: work.

Talent isn't as important as the work and dedication necessary to become competent.

The worse you're performing, the more you must work mentally and emotionally. The greatest and toughest art in golf is "playing badly well." All the true greats have been masters at it.

I'm a firm believer that in the theory that people only do their best at things they truly enjoy. It is difficult to excel at something you don't enjoy.

A kid grows up a lot faster on the golf course. Golf teaches you how to behave.

He's holding my hand! A boy is holding my hand! This is happening! I should let go. I should blush and act shy. Like a girl from the movies. But that's not what I do. I hold on.

That's not writing that's typing.

You don't take a class you're thrown into motherhood and learn from experience.

The massive debt we have racked up to finance our wasteful government is pulling down growth today. Gross debt over 90 percent of GDP weakens growth now. Not tomorrow - now.

But long story short, I didn't start doing stand-up because I wanted to have a TV show or be an actor or even wanted to write sketch comedy. I got into stand-up because I love stand-up.

All things in this world must be seen with youthful, hopeful eyes.

The becoming still can never be the being still; only with the death of becoming is there being.

In so far as the mind is stronger than the body, so are the ills contracted by the mind more severe than those contracted by the body.

Life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve.
