Life doesn't run away from nobody. Life runs at people.

If I lose, I'll walk away and never feel bad because I did all I could. There was nothing more to do.

You got 3 things going against you: you're good, you're left-handed, and you're black

There are places on a man's head that are as hard as a rock. Your head's actually stronger than your body. And you don't have too many instruments up there workin'.

Courage is how bad you want it.

You can map out a light plan or a life plan, but when the action starts, it may not go the way you planned, and you're down to the reflexes you developed in training. That's where roadwork shows - the training you did in the dark of the mornin' will show when you're under the bright lights.
