"I have certainly known more men destroyed by the desire to have a wife and child and to keep them in comfort than I have seen destroyed by drink and harlots"

"No expectation fails there,No pleasing habit ends,No man grows old, no girl grows cold,But friends walk by friends."

"Evil comes to all us men of imagination wearing as its mask all the virtues."

"Come swish around, my pretty punk,And keep me dancing stillThat I may stay a sober manAlthough I drink my fill."

"How can we know the dancer from the dance?"

"Who can tell the dancer from the dance?"

"A pity beyond all telling is hid in the heart of love."

"A line will take us hours maybe; Yet if it does not seem a moment's thought, our stitching and unstinting has been naught."

"Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before."

"Those that I fight I do not hate, those that I guard I do not love."

"I think you can leave the arts, superior or inferior, to the conscience of mankind."

"An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick"

"Education is not filling a bucket, but lighting a fire."

"when sleepers wake and yet still dream"

"But I, being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet; tread softly, because you tread on my dreams."

"In dreams begin responsibility"

"I have spread my dreams under your feet; tread softly because you tread on my dreams."

"Take, if you must, this little bag of dreams, Unloose the cord, and they will wrap you round."

"Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."

"But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."

"If I make the lashes darkAnd the eyes more brightAnd the lips more scarlet,Or ask if all be rightFrom mirror after mirror,No vanity's displayed:I'm looking for the face I hadBefore the world was made."

"You think it horrible that lust and rageShould dance attendance upon my old age;They were not such a plague when I was young;What else have I to spur me into song?"

"Life moves out of a red flare of dreams into a common light of common hours, until old age bring the red flare again."

"I am of a healthy long lived race, and our minds improve with age."

"Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation."

"Think where mans glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends."

"People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind."

My problem is being brutally honest. People don't like that.

I've got a beautiful wife and a beautiful family.

My second choice would've been Carolina. And when I told my mother I was going to Duke and not Carolina, she just cried, and that made my decision process a little harder. But I still went with what felt right, and it ended up working out well for me.

When you're at home for Duke-Carolina, you have a crowd of close to 10,000 around you, loving you. That's awesome. But it's also a lot of fun in Chapel Hill, where it's you, your teammates and your coaches, and no one else. I enjoyed the games at Chapel Hill a little more because of that.

Given the way Duke plays its offense and defense, in high school I was very interested in playing for Coach K. Then when you get there and see how good he is, you buy into it a hundred percent. He has a recipe for how to be successful on the court.

It's easier to work hard when you're passionate about what you're doing.

I love muskie fishing in the summer time.

I got a beautiful wife and beautiful, healthy children, and that's really all you can ask for.

You pay attention to detail. You try to win every time. You play tough. And when you play the right way and be accountable to each other, you're going to have success and enjoy the game that much more.

I'm sure I was insensitive. I'm probably still a jerk at times. But my priority as a freshman was to be good in basketball and play a lot. Not to be the nicest person in the world. I was one-track-minded. I still am.

I enjoy being mysterious. I enjoy the notoriety it brings.

Every Olympics, when I was growing up and playing basketball, my parents and I made it a point to sit down and watch the U.S.A. compete. To join that team later, and play and practice one-on-one with David Robinson, Larry Bird, Chris Mullens and all these guys I looked up to, was a dream come true.

When I went to work with Garinger, they were good kids and a very good team. But they had a nine-game losing streak, and you can see that they were getting down and depressed and not feeling rewards for their efforts. But when I came in there, I didn't need to teach them much about X's and O's.

I did pursue to be a good basketball player.

I pursued to have my team win as much as we could, and it doesn't happen without great teammates.

Every basketball thing I do now through my academy is always in a muskie state so I can work both those passions at the same time.

I'm a little embarrassed to say I'm a little bit of a soccer dad.

For me, personally, on the inside, the best moment was winning my first championship.

I'm very close with Brian Davis, Thomas Hill, and Marty Clark.
