Don't give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you.

Joy makes the longest journey too short.

Never try to be better than someone else. Learn from others, and try to be the best you can be. Success is the by-product of that preparation.

Make friendship a fine art.

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

No matter how you total success in the coaching profession it all comes down to a single factor - talent. There may be a hundred great coaches of whom you have never heard in basketball, football, or any sport who will probably never receive the acclaim they deserve simply because they have not been blessed with the talent. Although not every coach can win consistently with talent, no coach can win without it.

How you run the race - your planning, preparation, practice, and performance - counts for everything. Winning or losing is a by-product, and aftereffect, of that effort.
