Failures are expected by losers, ignored by winners.

A winning effort begins with preparation.

People who enjoy what they are doing invariably do it well.

Failures are expected by losers, ignored by winners.

All of us that have teams want to pick the right people. I've thought a lot about that. In the NFL, we've got 13 scouts traveling the country. We're trying to pick 22 year-olds coming out of college who will be successful in the NFL. It's very hard to do. What I've learned is it's always character first.

Everybody needs a coach.

I can't remember if it was in the third grade in school, I was being told that two amoeba happened to hit in a muddy puddle of water two billion years ago, and I was an accident. I was the result. I wasn't real smart, but I said, 'I don't like the sound of that.'

I coached in Washington - and in Washington, you lose the ballgame, it's a bad Monday, I just want to tell you that.

I had a basketball net that my dad had put up outside. I went out there and dribbled all day long. I wanted to play basketball. Then I'd go baseball, and then I'd go to football. I remember playing football in a plowed field. I grew up going from one thing to the next wanting to play something.

I had great football players. To be quite truthful, my great football players, the ones who wanted the ball at the end of the games, they weren't focused on money. They want to do something great. They want to go to Pro Bowls. They want to win Super Bowls. Those are the people that succeed in sports - or in business.

I love coaching my grandkids, but I love working with my two sons. J.D. is the head coach, and I'm the assistant - you believe that? I missed so much of them growing up. I really messed up there. So I like working with J.D. and Coy. I'm trying not to do the same thing again. With J.D. and Coy, I missed so much.

I wound up through a wild set of circumstances getting into coaching. I went in and volunteered with Don Coryell, who was a big part of my past, great coach. A lot of people say he was one of the greatest coaches ever. He was very good in high school, college and pro. Another guy on that staff was named John Madden.

I'm a phys ed major: that's ballroom dancing and handball.

If I keep God first in my life, if I keep my family and friends as second, and then I keep my occupation third, that's when I've found success.

If you're on God's team, you can't lose.

It's a very competitive thing, pro sports. The hardest thing in pro sports is staying up there.

My mother and grandmother had me in church, and I was the kid that played in church. But pastor was telling me something totally different that there was a God. He knit me together in my mother's womb. He made me special. He wanted to have a personal relationship with me.

Part of playing the game of life is you're going to have some losses.

The further you go in life, the more you realize what you're going to leave this Earth.

The further you go in life, the more you realize what you're going to leave this Earth. It's not going to be, 'It was a great platform. It was great to win the Super Bowl,' but really and truly what you're going to leave on this Earth is the influence on others.

The key to being a good manager or a good entrepreneur is to pick the right people. Pick the right people, and they'll make you look good.

This isn't an easy lifestyle for a coach's wife. The coach is the guy who stands up and hears everyone tell him how great he is. The wife is the one waiting at home alone while the coach is spending every night at the office.

To me, life is so exciting. To me, life is always trying to beat someone in something competitive. It's kinda been my whole life.

You and I are players, God's our coach, and we're playing the biggest game of all. We have a loving God that made us. We need to get on His team. It says in His word, there's only one way to Him and that's through Jesus Christ.

You and I are the players, God's our head coach, and we're all playing the biggest game of all.

To reach your own goals and dreams, you must learn how to assist others in reaching theirs.

In times of biggest change, if you can keep your head and be the smartest, you may get a jump over everybody else. It's a challenge, but it's an opportunity, too.

I've never been a great one for technology.

We are more ready to try the untried when what we do is inconsequential. Hence the fact that many inventions had their birth as toys.

Because I'm no longer a pop star 24 hours a day, I'm no longer bogged down by the stupid stuff that used to cripple me. I don't bruise easily any more.

I am most peremptorily of opinion against putting children extremely forward. If they desire it themselves, I would not balk them, for I love to attend to these unsophisticated indications. But otherwise, 'festina lente' is my maxim in education.

Die when I may, I want it said by those who knew me best that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.

Scientists search for truth. Philosophers search for morality. A criminal trial searches for only one result: proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

I am not as confident as the characters I play. I am a bit aloof. I am uncomfortable in social situations.

A bodybuilder is a sculptor who carries with him his own material.

I wish we lived in a society that made it safe and provided the courage for everyone to come out.

Infinite power just isn't very interesting, no matter what game you're playing. It's much more fun when you have a limited tool set to use against the odds.

From my example learn to be just, and not to despise the gods.

Heart of America is a movie I'm very proud of. The young actors are great and the story has impact.

The world may be divided into people that read, people that write, people that think, and fox-hunters.

I don't believe in regret.

What qualifies me to tell people how to act or what to think? I'm Charley Pride, country singer. Period.

I used to do ballet all the time, and I do this ballet workout: it is an amazing thing called Barrecore. It is like pulsing. It turns your legs into, like, jelly, and you feel like a Bambi; you lose so much control over your body because you're pulsing so much.

I am fascinated with times past.

Word - that invisible dagger.

When I was involved with 'Star Wars,' I was very interested in all the backstories, and I used to pepper George with all kinds of questions about anything that crossed my mind, because I was very, very into it. But when the job came to an end, I had to move on.

I believe that we all have the potential to love any human being, and that genetics, upbringing, choice, social conditioning and environment play a major part in which way we sway.

Cartooning at its best is a fine art. I'm a cartoonist who works in the medium of animation, which also allows me to paint my cartoons.

The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at once.
