Commitment separates those who live their dreams from those who live their lives regretting the opportunities they have squandered.

Concentration and mental toughness are the margins of victory.

My most prized possession was my library card from the Oakland Public Library.

My father once told me that anyone who worked for three dollars an hour owed it to himself to put in four dollars' worth of work.

To me, the most important part of winning is joy. You can win without joy, but winning that’s joyless is like eating in a four-star restaurant when you’re not hungry. Joy is a current of energy in your body, like chlorophyll or sunlight, that fills you up and makes you naturally want to do your best.

Don't knock the ball in the stands, keep it in your hands!

Success is a result of consistent practice of winning skills and actions. There is nothing miraculous about the process. There is no luck involved.
