It is just the little touches after the average man would quit that make the master's fame.

Football is like life—it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.

Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough.

The secret of success is conviction and persistence.

Real excellence does not come cheaply. A certain price must be paid in terms of practice, patience, and persistence—natural ability notwithstanding.

You have to be burning with an idea, or a problem, or a wrong that you want to right. If you're not passionate enough from the start, you'll never stick it out.
