When you're playing against a stacked deck, compete even harder.
When you leave it to chance, then all of a sudden you don't have any more luck.
Giving yourself permission to lose guarantees a loss.
To have long term success as a coach or in any position of leadership, you have to be obsessed in some way.
Great players crave instruction on their weaknesses.
You can only receive what you're willing to give.
The ideal of faith in ourselves is of the greatest help to us. If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished. Throughout the history of mankind, if any motive power has been more potent than another in the lives of all great men and women, it is that of faith in themselves.
Life rises out of death, death rises out of life; in being opposite they yearn to each other, they give birth to each other and are forever reborn. And with them, all is reborn, the flower of the apple tree, the light of the stars. In life is death. In death is rebirth. What then is life without death? Life unchanging, everlasting, eternal?-What is it but death-death without rebirth?
Prayer is of transcendent importance. Prayer is the mightiest agent to advance God's work. Praying hearts and hands only can do God's work. Prayer succeeds when all else fails.
I always try to have something that keeps my mind relaxed, keeps my mind a little bit off tennis.
