The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.

We shall play every game to the hilt with every ounce of fiber we have in our bodies.

No one is ever hurt. Hurt is in the mind.

When we place our dependence in God, we are unencumbered, and we have no worry. In fact, we may even be reckless, insofar as our part in the production is concerned. This confidence, this sureness of action, is both contagious and an aid to the perfect action. The rest is in the hands of God - and this is the same God, gentlemen, who has won all His battles up to now.

Each of us, if we would grow, must be committed to excellence. The championships, the money, the color; all of these things linger only in the memory. It is the spirit, the will to excel, the will to win; these are the things that endure.

Second place is meaningless. You can't always be first, but you have to believe that you should have been - that you were never beaten - that time just ran out on you.

The objective is to win: fairly, squarely, decently, win by the rules, but still win.
