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

And the trouble with me is that my ego just can't accept a loss. I suppose that if I were more perfectly adjusted, I would toss off defeat, but my name is on this ball club. Thirty-six men publicly reflect me and reflect on me, and it's a matter of my pride.

It is and has always been an American zeal to be first in everything we do, and to win.

Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing.

Most people fail, not because of lack of desire, but, because of lack of commitment.

The greatest accomplishment is not in never failing, but in rising again after you fall.

We live in an age fit for heroes. No time has ever offered such perils or prizes... The test of this century will be whether man confuses the growth of wealth and power with the growth of spirit and character.
