The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital.

The name on the front of the jersey is what really matters, not the name on the back.

When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality.

You have to perform at a consistently higher level than others. That's the mark of a true professional.

Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good.

Its the name on the front of the jersey that matters most, not the one on the back.

You need to play with supreme confidence, or else you'll lose again, and then losing becomes a habit.

Publicity is like poison; it doesn't hurt unless you swallow it.

The minute you think you've got it made, disaster is just around the corner.

Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind, confidence is the key to all the locks.

Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy.

Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things.

The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital.

Coaches have got to be given rank within the university so that you can't fire a coach unless you go through an academic committee, just as you would with a professor. If coaches are to have any stability and security, they need to be treated like an English professor.

I don't think I deviated from what I'm all about and what I thought was important. Whether you want to call that a legacy, or whatever you want to call it.

I really enjoyed coaching.

I'm not as concerned about me. What's happened to me has been great. I got five great kids. Seventeen grandchildren.

I've had a wonderful experience here at Penn State.

In every life, there have to be some shadows. Look at me. My life has been filled with sunshine. A beautiful and caring wife. Five healthy children. I got to do what I loved. How many people are that lucky?

It doesn't matter what people think of me. I've lived my life.

Mostly I want to talk positive; I wanna talk about a bunch of great kids that I coached and made me look good and the university that I've seen grow from a cow college, which it was, only 12,000 people, and when I came here, we weren't at Pennsylvania State University, we were at Penn State College.

My thing was play as hard as you can, don't be stupid, pay attention to details, and have enough guts in the clutch that you're not afraid to make a play. Some things I thought were important for a young man to know.

To teach an academic subject is certainly not easy, but compared to coaching, it is. We can say 'two plus two is four' to every kid and be sure that we are right. But in coaching, we have to literally get to the soul of the people we are dealing with.

We have to realize a kid will love us one day and hate us the next. That cannot change who we are and what we are about.

We shall act with good intentions, but at times we will be wrong. When we are, let us admit it and try to right the situation.

What is a coach? We are teachers. Educators. We have the same obligations as all teachers, except we probably have more influence over young people than anybody but their families. And, in a lot of cases, more than their families.

You must relate athletic experiences to life.

Believe deep down in your heart that you’re destined to do great things.

SUCCESS WITHOUT HONOR IS AN UNSEASONED DISH IT WILL SATISFY YOUR HUNGER BUT IT WONT TASTE GOOD.

If you think it's going to rain, it will.

Set religion free, and a new humanity will begin.

Unless the reformer can invent something which substitutes attractive virtues for attractive vices, he will fail.

Every American deserves to live in freedom, to have his or her privacy respected and a chance to go as far as their ability and effort will take them - regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or economic circumstances.

It will take a long time, and certainly the West will remain the dominant civilization well into the next century, but the decline is occurring.

Given a fair wind, we will negotiate our way into the Common Market, head held high, not crawling in. Negotiations? Yes. Unconditional acceptance of whatever terms are offered us? No.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.

To hard necessity ones will and fancy must conform.

Almost everyone will find something in our services worth paying for.

I frankly don't care if you agree with my stand on abortion. I take that stand because no other stand is consistent with decent principles, and no other standard is consistent with the will of God.

Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, etc., and the less we think about it the better.

Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will-whatever we may think.

There are those, I know, who will reply that the liberation of humanity, the freedom of man and mind, is nothing but a dream. They are right. It is. It is the American Dream.

I want to thank all the fans for their support over the years. Keep supporting the Knicks, we're moving in the right direction here and we will be exciting to watch and competing against the best in the NBA. Come back to the Garden for those exciting games.

How you think when you lose determines how long it will be until you win.

And it was only released in London last week, so when I go back to England Monday or whatever, I am expecting heaps of adulation. I'm hoping there is. If that doesn't happen I will be disappointed.
