and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.

- I don't like to lose, and that isn't so much because
it is just a football game, but because defeat means
the failure to reach your objective. I don't want a football player
who doesn't take defeat to heart, who laughs it off with the thought,

in business as well as in sports, is that too many people are afraid of competition.

if it costs hard work and training and sacrifice.
- The outer world or circumstance shapes itself to the inner world of thought,
and both pleasant and unpleasant external conditions are factors which make
for the ultimate good of the individual. As the reaper of his own harvest,
man learns both by suffering and bliss.
- On a long journey of human life, faith is the best of
companions; it is the best refreshment on the journey;
and it is the greatest property.
- It would be a blessing if each person could be blind
and deaf for a few days during his adult life.
It makes him appreciate sight and the the joy of sound.
- Teach children to use SPICE - and use it yourself.
S-Skill building.
P-Problem solving.
I-Imagination.
C-Communication.
E-Ego building.
- Hold yourself for a higher standard than anyone else expects of you.
