It's not the will to win that matters—everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters.

It's not whether you get knocked down; it's whether you get up.

The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning.

The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination.

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

The only way to prove that you're a good sport is to lose.

Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is.

Pressure is a privilege. It’s earned. It’s what you work for.

If you're afraid to fail, then you're probably going to fail.

The game has its ups and downs, but you can never lose focus on your goals.

You are never a loser until you quit trying.

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'

I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.

The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning.

Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.

Champions keep playing until they get it right.

Sports do not build character. They reveal it.

I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.

I've grown to realize that the only thing I can control is what I do and what I do on the court. That's the only thing, you know? That's what I've realized, and when I realize that, my success has been at a different level.

The only thing that ever sat me back is myself. The challenges are all with me.
