[My son] Michael came along and he played a little bit of everything. He went to Georgia Tech on a golf scholarship.

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.

A child is the quickest to trust because they have no concept of the depravity of our species.

I would even say that my parents, and their friends in our community, thought of education as a kind of armor against racism.

Justice must always question itself, just as society can exist only by means of the work it does on itself and on its institutions.

Oh, the soul keeps its youth!

Finally, I have lived the dream. I am extremely proud to have worn the armband and been captain of England and for that I will always be grateful.

In direct contradiciton to the American dream, God actually delights in exalting our inability.

I feel awful for women who are trying to raise kids on their own, with zero income and no fathers present - that's single motherhood.

A good designer must rely on experience, on precise, logic thinking; and on pedantic exactness. No magic will do.

Nothing which we can imagine about Nature is incredible.

The true wisdom is to be always seasonable, and to change with a good grace in changing circumstances.
