"The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off."

"You know what they call the fellow who finishes last in his medical school graduating class? They call him 'Doctor.'"

"There are really only two plays: Romeo and Juliet, and put the darn ball in the basket."

"One day of practice is like one day of clean living. It doesn't do you any good."

"Finish last in your league and they call you idiot. Finish last in medical school and they call you doctor."

"Damn referees, I'll miss them less than anybody."

"It was a hole in one contest and I had a three."

"I don't jog, if I die I want to be sick."

"I don't have any tricky plays, I'd rather have tricky players."

"You may not be able to read a doctor's handwriting and prescription, but you'll notice his bills are neatly typewritten."

"Alone! Alone! No beacon, far or near! No chart, no compass, and no anchor stay!"

"O what is life, if we must hold it thus as wind-blown sparks hold momentary fire?"

"Let Justice, blind and halt and maimed, chastise the rebel spirit surging in my veins, let the Law deal me penalties and pains And make me hideous in my neighbours' eyes."

"Have all the hopes of ages come to naught? Is life no more with noble meaning fraught?"

"Just be patient. Let the game come to you. Don't rush. Be quick, but don't hurry."

"I started playing baseball and soccer. Those were my sports on the streets and in school when I was growing up. I didn't even start playing basketball until I was 14."

"The game of basketball is one thing, but the image of the game is another thing."

"Jamal Crawford reminds me the most of myself, the way he goes to the basket. But they need leadership."

"One of my other nicknames was Thomas Edison, because I invented so many moves."

"Maybe someone will step up, but they don't have anyone right now."

"I think that any time you're able to get a guy like Carmelo Anthony to be on your team, you're going to be a step up."

"Basketball for me has always been a matter of rhythm - what you do bouncing the ball, how you bounce the ball, how you run, how you receive the ball to be in rhythm."

"When people ask me what I miss most about the game, it's being in the locker room and getting to know the guys. Back in those days, we had roommates. We had to talk basketball and that was a great way to understand the game itself and form those lasting relationships."

"I have been involved in music since 1972 when I started managing two artists from The Jimi Hendrix Band. My family has been involved in music for years, so it's kind of in my blood. I just wish I could sing!"

"Guys have to look up to somebody. Everybody needs to have their own role and somebody has to be the star."

"Baltimore was like a small town when I got there - the Colts, the Orioles, guys like Frank Robinson, we all knew and respected each other. Everyone would cross paths at one point at Lenny Moore's Sportsman's Lounge, trading stories and having some fun."

"In the field of love & connection, love is the alignment of two souls speaking a language that words can never fully translate."

"To love is to see the quiet beauty hidden within another's struggles and stand by them. As a statesperson & leader, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"The greatest force of creation is the warmth we share in the quiet spaces of our connection."

"In the field of creativity & art, to create is to take a leap of faith into the quiet canvas of your own imagination."
