Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

I try to do the right thing at the right time. They may just be little things but usually they make the difference between winning and losing.

There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. Yet that will be the beginning.

Time has no divisions to mark its passage there is never a thunder-storm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols.

The shock of any trauma I think changes your life. It's more acute in the beginning and after a little time you settle back to what you were. However it leaves an indelible mark on your psyche.

Gay people are the sweetest kindest most artistic warmest and most thoughtful people in the world. And since the beginning of time all they've ever been is kicked.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

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 habit. Unfortunately so is losing.

Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.

Before my teen years I was losing my hearing pretty quickly and I was getting very very angry. I was beginning to become an angry person because of that.

I knew from the beginning that privacy was going to be a huge issue especially with regard to applying Total Information Awareness in counterterrorism. Because if the technology development was successful a logical place to apply it was inside the United States.

I used to think that losing made you more hungry and determined but after my success at the Olympics and the U.S. Open I realise that winning is the biggest motivation.

Winning in Afghanistan is having a country that is stable enough to ensure that there is no safe haven for Al Qaida or for a militant Taliban that welcomes Al Qaida. That's really the measure of success for the United States.

People are beginning to see that the first requisite to success in life is to be a good animal.

Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.

The only thing I'm addicted to is winning. This bootleg cult arrogantly referred to as Alcoholics Anonymous reports a 5 percent success rate. My success rate is 100 percent.

Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown.
