I grew up in a tough neighborhood and we used to say you can get further with a kind word and a gun than just a kind word.

You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can get with just a kind word.

I grew up kind of a tomboy and I used to fight with all the neighborhood boys.

Many a friendship, long, loyal, and self-sacrificing, rested at first on no thicker a foundation than a kind word.

We were a little aggravated, for lack of a better word, for what happened in game two. We kind of took it out on them a little bit, and that was nice. It's nice that they can get that fire back. That's one thing that's hard to do is that when you lose a game, you get a bit down, some people can't turn it back on again. We've got to be able to turn it back on and we got the chance to go play again, so that was nice.

It's sad he was unable to say a kind word.
