Show me someone who has accomplished something in their life, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.

Everyone goes through adversity in life, but what matters is how you learn from it.

As a coach, one thing that used to frustrate me was one player would make a bad decision, and that's all you would read about in the papers all over the country. We have so many athletes do so many wonderful things for other people, and you never read about it.

I have to admit, I sometimes wonder how much more successful I would have been as a coach had it not been for my spending summers on the golf course. I could have watched more film, that's for sure. One advantage Joe Paterno had over me was that he didn't play golf.

The problem with having a sense of humor is often that people you use it on aren't in a very good mood.

Virtually nothing is impossible in this world if you just put your mind to it and maintain a positive attitude.
