Life is not a matter of holding good cards but of playing a poor hand well.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

On the field I'm trying to play for the glory of God but then also I'm trying to give everything I have and win and compete. And so I think more than just winning or losing I think He cares about where our hearts are when we're playing.

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure about you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.

When I was playing before I retired I never really understood the appreciation and the respect that people gave me. People had treated me like a god or something and that was very embarrassing.

God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.

My favorite hobby is being alone. I like to be alone. I also like dancing fishing playing poker sometimes and vegetable gardening - corn tomatoes cucumbers I have a big garden every year.

Gardening is how I relax. It's another form of creating and playing with colors.

Whether they run a record company or a grocery store every boss will tell you you're in big trouble if you're borrowing more than you can ever afford to pay back. Delaying the pain for future generations is suicidal. We've got to start getting the deficit down right now not next year.

My entire life has been an attempt to get back to the kind of feelings you have on a field. The sense of brotherhood the esprit de corps the focus - there being no past or future just the ball. As trite as it sounds I was happiest playing ball.
