Some guys practice like all-Americans but they can't play!

In sports... you play from the time you're eight years old, and then you're done forever.

I miss the game - I miss it a lot.

Winners, I am convinced, imagine their dreams first. They want it with all their heart and expect it to come true. There is, I believe, no other way to live.

Cause there's only one reason for doing anything that you set out to do. if you don't want to be the best, then there's no reason going out and trying to accomplish anything.

Confidence is a very fragile thing.

There's no thrill like throwing a touchdown pass.

My mother and father, Joe and Theresa Montana brought me along and taught me to never quit, and to strive to be the best.

Always be prepared to start.

Any quarterback that understands what the offense is really about is going to succeed.

As a quarterback, there's no better way to finish your year, in winning a Super Bowl, than with a touchdown pass. The chances of that happening, by the looks of most of the Super Bowls, is a very rare chance. Fortunately for me, I had an opportunity.

Especially in football, it is not a QB's game... even though the media likes to make it into that - it takes the whole team.

I don't live in the past.

I don't watch a lot of the games on Sunday. But I always kept an eye on the 49ers.

I mean the game is just, everybody talks about baseball but I really think football probably has a little bit more American feeling than anything.

I started a business with two guys I played with, Ronnie Lott and Harris Barton: Champion Ventures, it's a fund of funds. We have $400 million or so under management.

If I could still play, I would be trying. It's been 15 years.

Installing a new offense is harder than a new defense. It just takes time.

Man, coaching is a hard job, and it requires a lot of time... I hear stories from coaches who tell me that players call them in the middle of the night not knowing where they parked their car.

My back only bugs me when I sleep wrong. I feel my knee more than anything, the left one. It's arthritic.

My back only bugs me when I sleep wrong. I feel my knee more than anything, the left one. It's arthritic. I have a bad nerve in the back of my eye.

There is nothing worse for me than sitting in traffic. That's what killed me in L.A.

Yeah, I think it motivates you as people start to count you out. It doesn't make you play any harder, because every time you go out on the field you give 110 percent, but it does give you more of an edge mentally, knowing that you were in the same situation, because in sports you always find yourself behind.

Yeah, it's nice to look up to people, but the more you try to be somebody else, the less you are of yourself.

You know, I've had blowups with my coach too. The same thing happens, it just wasn't as evident back then because they didn't have so many cameras and ways to see things happen.

As a quarterback, you have to love it. As much as you like to turn around and hand the ball off the whole traditional football game as a quarterback, you gotta love putting it in the air.

In olden times sacrifices were made at the altar - a practice which is still continued.

I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.

Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.

One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.

Politics is about winning. If you don't win, you don't get to put your principles into practice. Therefore, find a way to win, or sit the battle out.

My father taught me that the only way you can make good at anything is to practice, and then practice some more.

The challenge is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible.

So now I don't have time to practice drums. It's been five years since I've touched the drums.

I am playing the violin, that's all I know, nothing else, no education, no nothing. You just practice every day.

Musical practice is too young an art in America to warrant a search for men with a conductor's gift.

The more I practice, the luckier I get.

I cannot consistently, with self respect, do other than I have, namely, to deliberately violate an act which seems to me to be a denial of everything which ideally and in practice I hold sacred.

If all Church power vests in the clergy, then the people are practically bound to passive obedience in all matters of faith and practice; for all right of private judgment is then denied.

The thought you have now shapes your experience of the next moment. Practice shaping the moment.

There is no age, height, or weight requirement to skate. It is good exercise no matter what your age is. If you want to be competitive, most start young. But, I practice with many adult competitors.

Those who have virtue always in their mouths, and neglect it in practice, are like a harp, which emits a sound pleasing to others, while itself is insensible of the music.

We have to define and put into practice a better, more coherent and effective policy on income security.

Indubitably, magic is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgment and practice than in any other branch of physics.

In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.

When asked if I consider myself Buddhist, the answer is, Not really. But it's more my religion than any other because I was brought up with it in an intellectual and spiritual environment. I don't practice or preach it, however.
