GENERAL Sports do not build character. They reveal it. – John Wooden If someone mistreats you, treat them good. That kills them. – Bobby Bowden Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important. – C.S. Lewis Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile. – Billy Sunday Sports is the toy department of human life. – Howard Cosell I’ve learned it’s better to have a small percentage of a big success, than a hundred percent of nothing. – Art Linkletter Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. – Abraham Lincoln God’s work done God’s way will never lack God’s supply. – Hudson Taylor Christ is a substitute for everything, but nothing is a substitute for Christ. – H. A. Ironside A faith that hasn’t been tested can’t be trusted. – Adrian Rogers God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves. – D. L. Moody Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees. – William Cowper To be like Christ is to be a Christian. It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible. – George Washington We have staked the future of American Civilization upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves according to the Ten Commandments. – James Madison I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All good from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through this book. – Abraham Lincoln. Education is useless without the Bible. The Bible was America’s basic text book in all fields. God’s Word, contained in the Bible, has furnished all necessary notes to direct our conduct. – Noah Webster We believe that all men are created equal because they are created in the image of God. – Harry S. Truman F. A. I. T. H. (Forsaking all I take Him). B. I. B. L .E. (Basic Instructions before leaving earth) It is a poor sermon that gives no offense, that neither makes the hearer displeased with himself or with the preacher. – George Whitefield If you have no joy, there’s a leak in your Christianity. – Billy Sunday We have a God who delights in impossibilities. – Billy Sunday The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. – Charles Stanley Remember in the dark what God taught you in the light. – B. B. Caldwell. The scriptures are given not to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives. – D. L. Moody Christ is either Lord of all or not Lord at all. – Hudson Taylor Out of one hundred men, one will read the Bible, the other ninety nine will read the Christian. – D. L. Moody Care more for a grain of faith than a ton of excitement. – Charles Spurgeon If winning isn’t everything, why do they keep score? – Vince Lombardi FOOTBALL We didn’t lose the game, we just ran out of time. – Vince Lombardi Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. – Vince Lombardi If you can’t accept losing, you will never win. – Vince Lombardi Most football teams are tempermental. That’s 90% temper and 10% mental. – Doug Plank He who gets the best players usually wins. – Bobby Bowden Sure luck means a lot in football. Not having a good quarterback is bad luck. – Don Schula Everyone said how stoic I was on the sidelines, that I didn’t show any emotion. You have to understand, I was never on the play the fans were seeing. I was always on the next play, or two or three plays after that. – Tom Landry BASKETBALL Be strong in body, clean in mind, lofty in ideals. – James Naismith Boards, Boards, Boards. – Knute Rockne You don’t play against opponents you play against the game of basketball. – Bobby Knight If all I’m remembered for is playing the game of basketball, then I’ve done a bad job with the rest of my life. – Isaiah Thomas I’ve always tried to make clear that basketball is not the ultimate. It is of small importance in comparison to the total life we live. There is only one kind of life that truly wins, and that is the one that places faith in the hand of the Savior. Until that is done, we are on an aimless course that runs in circles and goes no where. – John Wooden It is most difficult, in my mind, to separate any success, whether it be in your profession, your family or as in my case, in basketball, from religion. – John Wooden Everybody hears but few listen. – Bobby Knight Most people have the will to win, but few have the will to prepare to win. – Bobby Knight Everybody wants to be on a winning team but nobody wants to come to practice. – Bobby Knight Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming. – John Wooden Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. – John Wooden You can’t let praise or criticism get to you. It’s a weakness to get caught up in either one. – John Wooden If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over? – John Wooden Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there. – John Wooden Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful. – John Wooden Believe that the loose ball you are chasing has your name on it. – Coach Krzyzewski It take courage not only to make decisions, but to live with those decisions afterward. – Coach Krzyzewski Two are better than one if two act as one. – Coach Krzyzewski I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical foul – you can’t trust anybody. – Jim Valvano GOLF Golf is a good walk spoiled. – Mark Twain If you watch a game, it’s fun. If you play it, it’s recreation. If you work at it, it’s golf. – Bob Hope It’s good sportsmanship not to pick up lost balls while they are still rolling. – Mark Twain I have a tip that can take five strokes off anyone’s golf game. It is called an eraser. – Arnold Palmer Golf is a game where you yell “four… shot six… and write down five. – Paul Harvey Swing hard in case you hit it. – Dan Marino It took me seventeen years to get to 3,000 hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course. – Hank Aaron If it goes right, it’s a slice. If it goes left, it’s a hook, if it goes straight, it’s a miracle. – Anonymous An aging golfer loses three things. His nerve, his memory, and I can’t remember the third thing. – Lee Trevino I had played so poorly recently, I started thinking that maybe I should do something else. Then I saw my friends going to work everyday and I realized that my life wasn’t so bad. – Steve Pate You can talk to a fade but a hook won’t listen. – Lee Trevino One advantage that bowling has over golf is that bowlers seldom lose bowling balls. – Don Carter The more I practice, the luckier I get. – Gary Player Vice-President Spiro Agnew can’t cheat on his score – because all you have to do is look back down the fairway and count the wounded. – Bob Hope If a man’s got golf clothes in his truck or house, I don’t hire him. – Lou Holtz BASEBALL Baseball is 90% mental, the other half if physical. – Yogi Berra Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many players on the field. – Jim Boulton I never thought home runs were all that exciting. I still think the triple is the most exciting thing in baseball. To me, a triple is like a guy taking the ball on his 1-yard life and running 99 yards for a touchdown. – Hank Aaron The hardest thing to do in baseball is to hit a round baseball with a round bat, squarely. – Ted Williams Slump? I ain’t in no slump. I just ain’t hittin. – Yogi Berra If a man can beat you, walk him! – Leroy (Satchal) Page The pitcher has got only a ball. I’ve got a bat. So the percentage of weapons is in my favor and I let the fellow with the ball do the fretting. – Hank Aaron You’re only young once, but you can be immature forever. – Larry Anderson (Relief Pitcher) If I stay healthy, I have a chance to collect 3000 hits and 1000 errors. – George Brett The only people I ever felt intimidated by in my whole life were Bob Gibson and my daddy. – Dusty Baker One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and were you have to, reach down and prove something. – Nolan Ryan Slumps are like a soft bed. They are easy to get into and hard to get out of. – Johnny Bench The other teams could make trouble for us if they win. – Yogi Berra |
