Man is not the creature of circumstances, circumstances are the creatures of men. We are free agents, and man is more powerful than matter.

I was raised in that generation where it was all 'Women can have it all!' and I don't think you can. I think something falls off the table. The good thing is that the things that stay on the table become so much more important.

What football means to an Italian coach is tactics, trying to control the game by following the ideas and systems of the manager.

Take advantage of the years of pioneering efforts. You might find this boring, as the young want to rush head on, as it were.

Being tall is very good for reaching high shelves and seeing in a crowd. Sadly, it has also given me the inability to dance. There's too much of me to look neat, which is most disappointing.

I love being tall. I see guys who don't handle it so well, like that Dwayne Schintzius of Florida. I don't want to sound ignorant or anything, but that guy's got a problem.

I've not liked how people treat you sometimes, but I love being tall.

There are people I've yet to meet who are waiting for my path to intersect with theirs, so they can complete their own journeys. I don't know who or where they are, but I know for certain that they are waiting.

To choose the path is to choose the destination, but sometimes it seems that the path is under our feet even before we know we're walking.

Everyone who got to where they are had to begin where they were.

Any fool can attack an army and die. A wise man doesn't plan an attack; he plans a victory.

For the third time since I began, my walk has been delayed. In the beginning, I had considered these stops on my journey as interruptions---but I'm coming to understand that perhaps these detours are my journey. No matter how much I, or the rest of humanity wishes otherwise, life is not lived in smooth, downhill expressways, but in the obscure, perilous trails and rocky back roads of life where we stumble and feel our way through the fog of the unknown.
