My theory with the auctions has been to try to make them like a party, like a social event. If people are having a good time, talking with their friends, they're much more likely to bid.

Feathered with hoarfrost, skeletal trees loom closer; fog shrouded arches.

You can learn a line from a win and a book from a defeat.

The key to winning is poise under stress.

I can't stand it when a player whines to me or his teammates or his wife or the writers or anyone else. A whiner is almost always wrong. A winner never whines.

I enjoy winning and very much dislike losing- but I did not allow either of them to obsess me. I was a silent loser, believing that if you won you said little, and if you lost you said even less

The only thing that counts is your dedication to the game. You run on your own fuel; it comes from within you.
