Talent is not enough. It's an important component in a successful performance, but it's really only a starting point.

It takes courage to dream big and then to allow nothing to prevent you from realizing that dream.

Don't whine. Find the positive in difficult situations.

To some, challenges are exhausting. To others, they are opportunities in waiting.

The smartest thing is knowing that I don't know it all and that there's more to learn.

Have a vision and then create your own reality. Otherwise, someone else may create it for you.

Coaching soccer, like disciplines including journalism, you'll always learn if you're open to it, you'll learn from your players. If that's being smart, fair enough.

When you set a goal, write it down and then it's like making a promise to yourself.

I don't know how smart I am, but I was a student of the game and I still watch games and still pick up things. If you watch individual players you will see genius.

Overseas, kids grow up in a soccer culture. The German player sees the game eons above the American player the same age.

If I win, I attract other good players and by doing that I win more games.

Power is the gem of necessity. Without observing power, identity remains undiscovered.

In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.

Music exists for the purpose of growing an admirable heart.

Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.

May the partisans of all doctrines in all countries unite and live in a common fellowship. For all alike profess mastery to be attained over oneself and purity of the heart.

Do the right thing. Not just when it's convenient for you, but all the time. Words to live by.

I don't have to think. My only job is to show up and win.

Politicians are leeches, mostly.

Don't fear to pledge. By winds the perjuries of love Are blown, null and void, across the land and farthest seas.

People working together in a strong community with a shared goal and a common purpose can make the impossible possible.
