Success and excellence are not the same. Excellence grows within a person, is largely within that person's control, and its meaning lasts. Success is measured externally, by comparison to others, is often outside our control, and is perishable.

Today, you've got a decision to make. You're gonna get better or you're gonna get worse, but you're not gonna stay the same. Which will it be?

I still haven't gotten that little something out of my system that I'm still not a kid going to a football game. I'm excited.

Everybody likes to win. It sure beats the devil out of losing.

You have to perform at a consistently higher level than others. That's the mark of a true professional.

Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy.

You're only as happy as your least happy child.
