Quotes of 1959

Quotes taken from the authors in 1959

If we remain humble and hungry, we can win.

Your best penalty killer is your goalie.

I define fear as standing across the ring from Joe Louis and knowing he wants to go home early.

He hit me 18 times while I was in the act of falling.

I mean, it's not important what kind of pants you wear; it's how you wear them.

As a matter of a fact, though, I've never actually played a video game where I've played as myself.

If you can believe it, the mind can achieve it.

I'm a person who really doesn't dwell on the past.

To me, it didn't matter where I played, I just wanted to play well.

Really in all my years on Tour, in the U.S. Open I probably played great golf in two of them, out of maybe 20, so it's a lot of work.

I think people like players they can relate to. It seems as if people think they know me. I just think I'm an ordinary Joe who plays golf very, very well.

My goal has always been to play golf, and play it well. In the end, that's what I am, a golfer. If my back lets me, I'm going to play my favorite places. If I hurt myself, that'll probably be it for a while.

I'm not very good in the rain. I don't wear a golf glove.

I left home at 17, traveled. I got married when I was 21. That's a young age. As it turned out, things were fine, then not so fine, and then it was a blunder. That happens all the time.

Everyone wants to call wrestling 'the business.' Why don't you treat it like a business? I don't care if you're running a diner, if you're running a car wash or a wrestling company. It's all business.

When my hair is dyed, I feel like I'm 35 again.

I'm so super-critical of everything that I do.

I've always been into bodybuilding and keeping in shape, and I just challenge myself to see if I can continue to make improvements.

It's gone on my whole life, this David and Goliath syndrome that a lot of these smaller guys always have. They think the only reason I've ever had any success in my career is because of my physical size. And you know what? If that's the case, so be it. I really don't care. Because I have that size.

I don't think there's a difference between writing for a newspaper or magazine and doing a chapter in a book.
