The Heisman is the biggest award I've ever won.
I've been a very lucky guy. I played on championship teams. I played for Canada. I've won some awards and I'm very proud of those accomplishments. But I don't think there's anything greater than to come home and to be recognized at home. This is the pinnacle.
The greatest honor that has come to me, and that can ever come to me in my life, is to be Grand Master of Masons in Missouri.
As a theoretical physicist, I feel at once proud and humble at the thought of the illustrious figures that have preceded me here to receive the greatest of all honors in science, the Nobel prize.
We have the greatest Hall of all the Halls. And to be able to join these men, on this stage, in football heaven is the greatest day of my life.
Winning that gold medal at the Olympics is something I'll never forget.
I don't think there's any honor bigger than going to your Hall of Fame for your sport.
I wish to thank the Nobel Foundation for granting me the greatest honor to which a scientist may aspire.
I have received the greatest honor in my life - and the greatest surprise. Never did I dream that the Nobel Prize could be awarded for the reciprocal relations.
