You think football builds character. It does not. It reveals character.

Grace is not something one possesses; instead, grace is something one receives.

You can't be a successful leader or mentor until you have served. You can't serve until you have stepped out of your comfort zone. And you can't step out of your comfort zone unless you have character and keep your word.

Only by entering new and unfamiliar worlds can a person change society as well as self.
