When people need love and understanding and support the most is when they deserve it the least.

My philosophy in life is, Decide what you want to do. You have to have something to hope for.

For victory in life, we've got to keep focused on the goal, and the goal is Heaven.

My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961. The pay wasn't much, so to get $300 more per year, I agreed to coach the golf team. I didn't even know how to keep score, and really, my main job was not to wreck the van on the way to tournaments.

There are specific things in our world that are incredibly dangerous. Wingsuit BASE jumping is the very, very top of that. Big alpine climbing objectives are maybe right below that. I've probably had 20 friends die - people who were pretty close to me. I would say about 18 of them were because of snow.

I'm not the fastest, the strongest, the most athletic, the tallest. But in order for me to be good at what I do, I have to focus on my craft so much that it alleviates those other things. I can't have personal relationships like other people do. I can't spend time on that.

Starbucks has a role and a meaningful relationship with people that is not only about the coffee.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.
