I've always tried to play golf with a golf club. I have a hard time driving with my rifle. I mean, 18 is really narrow ... I have no problem with the course, except for the tee shot on 18.

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.

Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper.

The wold was full of us, the leftovers and the leavers, the bereaved and the broken.

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis but rather the feeling of being unwanted.

I feel that I learned far more from my students than I could possibly have taught them.

When you are laboring for others, let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.

Trust is fine, but control is better.

Life is never easy. There is work to be done and obligations to be met - obligations to truth, to justice, and to liberty.

I'm single because I move about so much that I can't really get attached.
