"I always believe in going hard at everything, whether it is Latin or mathematics, boxing or football, but at the same time I want to keep the sense of proportion. It is never worth while to absolutely exhaust one's self or to take big chances unless for an adequate object. I want you to keep in training the faculties which would make you, if the need arose, able to put your last ounce of pluck and strength into a contest. But I do not want you to squander these qualities."

-- Theodore Roosevelt

If this population keeps growing, weâ€™ll just keep devouring the planet, and I donâ€™t think itâ€™s going to stand for that very long.”
“If you say, "Woo, woo, woo!" to me, I'll say it back. I love it. "Woo, woo, woo" is something that my character used to say.

It's a combination of "I see you, I feel you, I acknowledge you, I got your back."”
“There is no shape nor size of body, no awkwardness nor ungainliness, which puts good golf beyond reach. There are good golfers with spectacles, with one eye, with one leg, even with one arm. In golf, while there is life there is hope.”
“I think I always wanted to have adventures in my life. I was always kind of a rambunctious kid.”
