"You know, quarterbacks, I think greatness in quarterbacks is taking what you've got, whether it's a great team, a good team, or a struggling team and make them better."
"It's perfectly okay to want to quit - as long as you don't."
"Leadership must be demonstrated, not announced."
"Success, in my view, is the willingness to strive for something you really want. The person not reaching the top is no less a success than the one who achieved it, if they both sweated blood, sweat and tears and overcame obstacles and fears. The failure to be perfect does not mean you're not a success."
"The failure to be perfect does not mean you are not a success; it is giving your best that helps you to understand the joy of receiving."
