The hardest thing for a basketball player to do is dribble two really hard dribbles. You are flying, and then pull up and shoot a ball from 15, 17 feet. It's the hardest thing in the game.

It's not just about working hard, it's about working together. You have to care more about the team than you do about yourself

A successful person never loses...they either win or learn!

You've gotta learn to love the grind. Because life IS the grind.

If I walk in a home and a kid disrespects a woman, his mother or grandmother, then I am out... I wont recruit them

I need people who look at adversity as a challenge and failure as a learning opportunity.

It's not about how far you fall, but how high you rebound.

Practice gotta be harder than the games and it never is unless you want it to be as a player. The coach can't drive that

I'm playing the guys who are going to fight. If you're not into this, I'm going to someone else

You understand, you do not invent stuff on this team. Guys that invent stuff will not play for me. Make the easy play

The best teams I've had had a little bit of swagger.

Men will not look at things as they really are, but as they wish them to be--and are ruined.

Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.

The goal when you get into a relationship is not to be out of the relationship. It's to try to stay in the relationship. But if it doesn't work, you can't force those things.

It is twice as hard to crush a half-truth as a whole lie.

You have to get up and plant the seed and see if it grows, but you cant just wait around, you have to water it and take care of it.

The last decision I made was my health when I had a heart attack when I was 51.

I guess I am conscious of my weaknesses, and I think pacing is probably my biggest. I don't know if I think the clarity thing is actually a weakness. It was a stylistic choice.

It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat. I have truth on my side, you only have deceit.

I had always been content to know that there was more in the living world than we could hope to understand.

A simple leather jacket... has gotten me through cocktail parties in New York and cold nights in Afghanistan.
