"I don't have to wait until the next morning to regret something I did that was kinda dumb."

"I don't think my dad ever raised his voice to my mother or to me, ever."

"My dad was a very quiet person, and unbelievably tough. But my grandmother gave me my first look at negative thinking to bring about positive results. When I was just a little guy, anytime I came to my grandmother and said I wish for this or that, Grandma would say, 'If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.'"

"The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare."

"When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want they bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass!"

"You don't play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball."
