“Knowledge is like an endless resource; a well of water that satisfies the innate thirst of the growing human soul. Therefore never stop learning... because the day you do, you will also stop maturing.”

“I am not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well. More important than that, I feel an endless need to learn, to improve, to evolve, not only to please the coach and the fans, but also to feel satisfied with myself. It is my conviction that here are no limits to learning, and that it can never stop, no matter what our age.”

“You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.”

“You don't stop playing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop playing. ”

“I’m a believer in hard work and being focussed. I figure that ifI can do it, anyone can! Seriously, just put your mind to things, have faith, patience, trust and good things will happen. There’s an endless road of things I can’t do… There’san endless amount of growing and learning, and there’s alwaysmore. Don’t forget it. The day you stop learning is the day youstart sucking. My days are numbered. I’m just trying to get asfar down the road as I can.”

“We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing!”
