The will to prepare, the guts to risk, and the desire to be the best. These are trademarks of champions.
You can do more, you can always do more.
Leadership comes by the example you set through your work. It begins from the way you are perceived as a worker and the respect that comes with it.
The scoreboard can't make you a loser. If you walk off the field with your head up, you don't lose. You don't hang your head for nobody. People in the stands think you're the greatest or the worst - their opinion doesn't make a difference. The only opinion that makes any difference is your own opinion of yourself.
You have to feel you're the best at what you do. You don't have to come out and say it. But you have to know it within yourself.
There is no defense against a perfect pass. I can throw the perfect pass.
Nobody can make you a loser.
I've been a Dolphin for 17 years, and I'll be a Dolphin for the rest of my life. That will never change.
Sure, the home-field is an advantage - but so is having a lot of talent.
Swing hard in case you hit it.
I've tried, at every step in life, to find a lesson. And accepting criticism with the same grace that you do the applause is something every young athlete needs to learn. ... I think it served me well to learn how to handle everything that came with the game's ups and downs. Some people call it growing another layer of skin. I just call it growing up.
I don't need to be motivated by anybody. Never have.
My parents would always say, 'It doesnt' matter if it's a guy picking up the garbage or the President of the United States, treat everybody as you would want to be treated.
My father always taught me to appreciate what you're fortunate to have and give back to those who need it. No part of our society is more important than the children, especially the ones who need our help.
I just try to be myself, whatever that is. I don't think about how I'll be remembered. I just want to be consistent over a long period of time. That's what the great players do.
It's real nice and exciting for me to break the records, but it's more exciting for me to be on a winning team.
As a young man God blessed me with a special talent to throw a football.
I'm getting married because I'm in love with a girl and want to spend my life with her. You can't live your life doing what other people want you to or you'll be miserable. At some point you just have to be yourself.
You get into feeling like you are in a zone. You can't be stopped. It's a good feeling but it never lasts.
I want to know what it's like to play in a Super Bowl and win one. My career will be great without it. But, personally, selfishly, I want to know what it feels like.
As a team, you need to come from behind every once in awhile just to do it. Good for the attitude. It makes it exciting. And when everybody knows you have to throw it... that makes it fun too.
We didn't win a Super Bowl together, and that's something I'll always regret - not knowing what that feels like. But you and I have won more games together than any quarterback and coach combination in the history of the NFL.
We can change the lives of autistic children. We can make a difference. There are hundreds of families in Florida who can't afford the therapists.
I throw better than anybody in college and I can throw with anybody in the pros. There, that's what I think.
I think it's more and more important to spend time with your children, because it seems to be harder and harder for them to succeed as their parents have succeeded.
