It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.-- Sir Edmund Hillary
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
Bear Bryant could take his'n and beat your'n, or he could take your'n and beat his'n.
I don't have any tricky plays, I'd rather have tricky players.
The critic is one who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Fault finding is like window washing. All the dirt seems to be on the other side.
When I play, I'm boiling inside. I just try not to show it because it's a lack of composure, and if you give in to your emotions after one loss, you're liable to have three or four in a row.
There is no room in your mind for negative thoughts. The busier you keep yourself with the particulars of shot assessment and execution, the less chance your mind has to dwell on the emotional. This is sheer intensity.
In the end, the game comes down to one thing: man against man. May the best man win.
When they treat you bad, you just got to take care of your pride, no matter what.
I celebrate a victory when I start walking off the field. By the time I get to the locker room, I'm done.
You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy.
Victory belongs to the most persevering.
