We almost have to force or drive ourselves to work hard if we are to reach our potential. If we don't enjoy what we do, we won't be able to push as hard as we need to push for as long as we need to push to achieve our best. However, if we enjoy what we do and if we're enthusiastic about it, we'll do it better and come closer to becoming the best we can be.

I like to spend time in the past, with the things that have been important to me.

My bench never heard me mention winning. My whole emphasis was for each one of my players to try to learn to execute the fundamentals to the best of their ability. Not to try to be better than somebody else, but to learn from others, and never cease trying to be the best they could be; that's what I emphasized more than anything else.

Honors are very fleeting, just as fame is; cherish friendship more.

Today is the only day. Yesterday is gone.

Sincerity may not help us make friends, but it will help us keep them.

Ability is a poor man's wealth.
