I learned early in sports that to be effective - for a player to play the best he can play - is a matter of concentration and being unaware of distractions, positive or negative.

Being the best at whatever talent you have, that's what stimulates life.

My feeling is if Duane Thomas continued to play the way he did the couple of years he was in there, it would have been very hard for Pittsburgh to beat us [in Super Bowls X and XIII]. If we had Duane and Calvin Hill, together they would have made an impact.

In those days a boy on the classical side officially did almost nothing but classics. I think this was wise; the greatest service we can to education today is to teach few subjects. No one has time to do more than a very few things well before he is twenty, and when we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects we destroy his standards, perhaps for life.

Whining's unattractive, even when your whine sounds like Kenneth Branagh eating frozen strawberries with a silver fork.

Phyllis, you have to believe in Jesus Christ to play for the Dallas Cowboys.
