We're trying to put ourselves in the best position to win, period, if not this year, next year.

I don't have the insight with the Longhorns that I do with the two teams that I own, but as a fan and reading the sports pages, I'm bullish about the Longhorns.

My style is to keep folks in place who are good managers and want to win.

You don't even have to win a championship every year to draw the fans. You just have to show you're really trying.

What you don't want to do is to hang on to the aging superstar past his prime and take resources away you can otherwise use to build a better overall team.

Baseball is all about pitching, and we know we have to improve our pitching.

If you take the approach that you want to scrape every last nickel off the table, that'll work one or two times, but after awhile, your reputation will precede you.

We want to add an American League pennant... and to bring the World Series to Arlington.

Pitching is a priority.

At some point, a group of people working towards similar goals will exhibit a distribution of performance.

My business life is really simple. It's like, get check. Put check in bank. Pay rent. I've never bought a stock in my life. I never got caught up in that trip. And the truth is, I don't obsess about money ever.

The America that we knew as the smartest place on the planet is gone with the wind.

Politics is the art of the next best.

Well, my dad was the district attorney of New Orleans for about 30 years.

The biggest reason most people fail is that they try to fix too much at once - join a gym, get out of debt, floss after meals and have thinner thighs in 30 days.

No one is perfect, and criticism is always welcome and expected.

None of my friends were ever as broke as I was.

I like a colorful sock. I'm a sock man.

I must stress here the point that I appreciate clarity, order, meaning, structure, rationality: they are necessary to whatever provisional stability we have, and they can be the agents of gradual and successful change.

I am called a dog because I fawn on those who give me anything, I yelp at those who refuse, and I set my teeth in rascals.

Information design has been around since the 1970s. Pioneers like Yale University design guru Edward Tufte and design agency Pentagram have long known and used its power. But now with the rise of the Internet, it's having something of a second birth.

I don't think I'm beautiful. I just think I can scrub up OK.

I am an invisible man...I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids - and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.

It's hard, and I don't always get to see my kids. I will never catch up on that time I've missed.
