Sports of every sort had always appealed to me.

I'll fight like a wildcat until they nail the lid of my pine box down on me.

When I was racing, I had learned that you can't set stock in public adoration or your press clippings. By the time I was 26, I'd heard crowds of 100,000 scream my name, but a week later they couldn't remember who I was. You're a hero today and a bum tomorrow - hero to zero, I sometimes say.

Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared.

Some friends are better shots than are casual enemies.

I am not a labor hater.
