“Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.” Thomas Edison, American Inventor
“If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.” Johan Goethe, Playwright/Philosopher
“If it weren’t for the dark days, we wouldn’t know what it is to walk in the light.” Earl Campbell, NFL Hall of Famer
“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” Thomas Jefferson, 3rd U.S. President
“There are times when we cannot explain the adversities both on and off the field. To feel sorry for ourselves is to prolong the situation. To blame others is the coward’s way. But to press on gives us a strength and direction to rise above.” Steve Garvey, 10 time MLB All-Star
“In a race, everyone runs, but only one person gets first prize. So run your race to win. To win the contest, you must deny yourselves many things that would keep you from doing your best. An athlete goes to all this trouble just to win a ribbon or a silver cup, but we do it for a heavenly reward that never disappears. So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. I fight to win.” Apostle Paul, Corinthians.
“Practice the game the way you’re going to play the game. Practice hard and play hard. Run hard, and above all else, hustle every moment you are on the field whether you’re practicing or playing in a game.” Pete Rose, Retired Major League All-Star
“If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito.” Unknown
“You can’t get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good.” Jerry West, NBA Hall of Famer
