I believe we are most likely to succeed when ambition is focused on noble and worthy purposes and outcomes rather than on goals set out of selfishness.

Work without joy is drudgery. Drudgery does not produce champions, nor does it produce great organizations.

I always tried to make clear that basketball is not the ultimate. It is of small importance in comparison to the total life we live. There is only one kind of life that truly wins, and that is the one that places faith in the hands of the Savior. Until that is done, we are on an aimless course that runs in circles and goes nowhere.

No one can really honestly be the very best, no one.

Reverse the ball one time for a good shot, two times for a great shot, three times for a layup.

Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.

Don't mistake activity with achievement.
