Foreword
Introduction
1. 'If it is to be, it is up to me.'
2. Success is best measured by how far you have come with the talents you have been given.
3. You don't play a match for 100 minutes-you play for 6000 seconds.
4. 'Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear-not absence of fear.'
5. 'Some men see things as they are and ask why? Others dream things that never were and ask why not?'
6. Winning isn't everything. It is just a lot better than the alternative.
7. 'Luck is what you have left over after you give 100 per cent.'
8. 'Chess may start as an art or a science. But in the end, physical endurance is so important that it becomes an athletic event.'
9. 'It is a lot tougher to be a football coach than to be a president. You've got four years as a president and they guard you. A coach doesn't have anyone to protect him when things go wrong.'
10. 'I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.'
11. 'Learn to listen, and listen to learn.'
12. You are not a champion unless you are consistent. You can have champion potential, but a true champion is on the job nine times out of ten.
13. Practice makes perfect is bullshit. Perfect practice makes perfect.
14. 'I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.'
15. Anything you do is worth doing well-anything less than that and you're wasting your time.
16. Loyalty is a notion to be treated with care. You pay your dues and are paid your due. But a man is not a sheep.
17. 'Imagination is more important than knowledge.'
18. 'A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity
an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.'
19. 'Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.'
20. 'In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.'
21. The best definition of professionalism is to work towards the complete eradication of error.
22. 'If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.'
23. 'Winning is not a sometime thing
it's an all-time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.'
24. 'Two stonecutters were asked what they were doing. The first said, "I'm cutting stone into blocks." The second replied, "I'm on a team that's building a cathedral."'
25. 'Do not go gentle into that good night.'
26. 'Sport is not just a game.'
27. 'A champion is the guy who gets up when he can't.'
28. 'The meek might inherit the earth, but that's only because they bite the dust.'
29. 'Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.'
30. 'One man practicing sportsmanship is better than a hundred teaching it.'
31. 'Lest we forget'
