No building is better than its structural foundation, and no man (woman) is better than his (her) mental foundation.

It is normal to enjoy praise and dislike criticism. True character is when you prevent either from affecting you in a negative matter.

Never be thrown off stride in how you behave or what you believe in because of outside events.

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

How hard you work at correcting your faults reveals your character.

No individual should take the blame for a loss, because no individual should get the credit for a victory.

Loyalty is very important when things get a little tough, as they often do when the challenge is great. Loyalty is a powerful force in producing one's individual best and more so in producing a team's best.
