Quotations with a citation

We didn't really grow up with a lot but whatever we needed she made sure we got it.

[I]t's not necessarily what you say to somebody. It's how you make them feel

One day after a bad practice, he told me I would have two choices to, I could be complacent and waste my talent or to work harder and one day be in the Hall of Fame. There will be no in between

You can travel the world but there's no place like home.

It's not about how many touchdowns you score or how many Super Bowl rings you have, even though those things are nice. It really comes down to who you are at your core and what's in your heart.

Everyone can't play in an NFL game and everyone can't have a bust in Canton, but everyone can be a Hall of Famer in your own life. You could be a Hall of Fame dad, a Hall of Fame student, teacher, spouse, coworker, friend, whatever it is, whatever it is that you do, do it with respect, integrity, passion, resilience, dedication and gratitude. That alone will make you a Hall of Fame person and you too can have a legacy that lives on forever too.
