“Our guys (Saint Louis University Men’s Basketball) can’t even do a simple box-out. I’ll tell ya, I once coached in a veterans’ wheel-chair basketball league and some of those guys…not only did they have their legs blown off, they had their balls blown off…yet they boxed out.” - Rick Majerus

“If you could actually stand in someone else’s shoes to hear what they hear, see what they see, and feel what they feel, you would honestly wonder what planet they live on, and be totally blown away by how different their “reality” is from yours.
You’d also never, in a million years, be quick to judge again.” ~ Mike Dooley

I may have already mentioned this one, but if not:
"We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.” - James Baldwin
It’s one that’s been on my mind a lot lately, for lots of reasons.
This one hit home particularly hard today as well:
“I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed over our cities, we, too, will be remembered not for victories or defeats in battle or in politics but for our contributions to the human spirit.” - John F Kennedy

“When you’re 20, you care what everybody thinks. When you’re 40, you stop caring what everyone thinks. When you’re 60, you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place.”

I saw mention of Bronco in an earlier quote - so I thought I’d add my favorite from him. From when he was the DC (when he still talked football more than religion. 
) on a “coordinator’s corner” radio show:
Anyone will fumble the ball if you hit them hard enough.
-Bronco Mendenhall
And - just a contribution of one of my favorites:
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
-Charles R. Swindoll
