The Sisters of Notre Dame at St. Aloysius Grade School influenced my life tremendously. This was due to the fact that they encouraged you always to make sure that God is the focus of your life, and they didn't allow you to do anything except to the very best of your ability.

I'm an old man, and all my life I've said that Notre Dame should remain independent because it's a national school.

In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely. Golf really is the best microcosm of life - or at least the way life should be.

For victory in life, we've got to keep focused on the goal, and the goal is Heaven.

I think life is a matter of choices and that wherever we are, good or bad, is because of choices we make.

Everyone goes through adversity in life, but what matters is how you learn from it.

Don't be a spectator, don't let life pass you by.

If you're bored with life - you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things - you don't have enough goals.

I think that everybody needs four things in life. Everybody needs something to do regardless of age. Everybody needs someone to love. Everybody needs something to hope for, and, of course, everybody needs someone to believe in.

Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.
