Sports

• The trouble with officials is they just don’t care who wins.
• All sports are games of inches.
• The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

Attitude

Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.
Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching?
Whenever you are in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.
Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us.
A man is as unhappy as he has convinced himself he is.
Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can’t be done.
You always have a choice, even if it is only a choice of your attitude.
The only disability in life is a bad attitude.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Defeat is not bitter unless you swallow it.
Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude.
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.
You always have a choice, even if it is only a choice of your attitude.
Unhappiness is best defined as the difference between our talents and our expectations.
The man who has no inner life is a slave to his surroundings.
Positive anything is better than negative thinking.
Misery is a communicable disease.
I have learned to use the word impossible with the greatest caution.
The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.
