“The characteristic feature of all ethics is to consider human life as a game that can be won or lost and to teach man the means of winning.”

“If you have the character to hang in there when its tough, you will develop or acquire every other characteristic necessary to WIN in the game of life.”

“Oh the places you'll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won. And the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning-est winner of all.”

“Authentic religion teaches one to imagine the other -- to consider another's vulnerability and humanity. The beginning of ethics is this trancendent imagination' (Ingrid Mattson). The message, she said, to be expounded by preacher and politician alike is that all human beings possess a God-given dignity.”

“Games are lost and won in your mind as much as they are on the field.”

“But that was the beauty of this particular game. The moment you lost, you won.”
