“That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But, it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different it's course would have been.

“The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.”

“Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.”

“You wouldn't think you could kill an ocean, would you? But we'll do it one day. That's how negligent we are.”
