The person who lets them get you down, any kind of problem, is the person that fades out. So you've got to be strong enough; you don't like it, but you've got to be strong enough to accept what's going on and that you're going to fight it or whatever it takes to overcome this matter. That's the way I feel.

In life, you're going to have a lot of problems. Everybody's got problems. Some is worse than others. Some is sickness. Some, like me, you've got problems that you don't like that come up. But you've got to handle them.

I'm 85 years old. I've been in business since I was a teenager, practically; I was in grade school, and I even had a paper route. I always had a job so I could have money to spend on girls.

Football has very direct and strong connections to New Orleans. The game of football has served as a positive beacon in our city. It has given our citizens hope in tough, trying times.

You've got to enjoy every day and make the best of it and go forward.

Some people like to play golf; I like to come to work.

If you've got a coach that overlooks the problems, then you've got problems.

I've had a lot of different companies. I've been in banking and automobiles and real estate and a lot of things.

Sometimes when you make mistakes, if you learn by your mistakes, by golly, that's when you can really go forward.
