If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.
It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.
Victory belongs to the most persevering.
I am the greatest.
The doorway to success swings outward not inward.
If I can see it and believe it, then I can achieve it.
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.
The starting point of all achievement is desire.
Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
You cannot make progress without making decisions.
Victory is sweetest when you’ve known defeat.
You’ve got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing.
Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.
I would tell players to relax and never think about what’s at stake. Just think about the basketball game. If you start to think about who is going to win the championship, you’ve lost your focus.
I play to win, whether during practice or a real game. And I will not let anything get in the way of me and my competitive enthusiasm to win.
A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.
