No one can really honestly be the very best, no one.

Just try to be the best you can be; never cease trying to be the best you can be. That's in your power.

Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.

I'd be satisfied just coaching in high school. I turned down a number of colleges when I was teaching in South Bend, Indiana, before I went into the service. I honestly believe that if I hadn't enlisted in the service, I would never have left high school teaching. I'm sure I would have never left.

Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
