They say everything you go through in your childhood builds character and inner strength.

Exercise helps me with stress. It changes your brain chemistry. I turn to Ashtanga yoga when I feel the need to relax. I love it but it's not right for everybody. It's taught to you a little bit at a time according to your body type and your strength. That keeps things challenging.

I spend around two and half hours on the track every day running and another 2 hours in the weight room lifting weights with my strength coach.

Well first of all it's a business and it's a tough business and you have to have the strength to survive all the set backs all the failures that make this a mean business that's getting meaner and meaner every year in my opinion.

I was always trying to make up for my size to compensate. So to get people to take you seriously you have to come at things with a great deal of strength. You have to emphasize that the way you are is unusual. That you don't come along every day.

Focus on your problem zones your strength your energy your flexibility and all the rest. Maybe your chest is flabby or your hips or waist need toning. Also you should change your program every thirty days. That's the key.

My strength never came from political echelons it came from the family. And from the fields and the lands and the flowers and everything I see there. My strength came from there.

Then when I went to Iraq and saw the strength and character the men and women in our military service exhibit every day and their belief in what they're doing I knew I wanted to get that on film and share it with everyone. They are my inspiration.

I know that like every woman of the people I have more strength than I appear to have.

It requires more strength to be gentle so it's the everyday encounters of life that I think we've prepared children for and prepared them to be good to other people and to consider other people.

Don't be intimidated by what you don't know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else.

There comes a pause for human strength will not endure to dance without cessation and everyone must reach the point at length of absolute prostration.

The world breaks everyone and afterward some are strong at the broken places.

All pro sports as well as the NCAA should thank God every day we have sports betting here... We have the only agency in the world that regulates the honesty of games.

Everybody sort of questioned why we get married on New Year's Day and of course the avid sports fans wouldn't come because they had to watch the Rose Bowl or whatever that is on that day.

The water cooler conversation in every job I've had is sports it's what did you do this weekend it's 'How are your parents doing?'

You go to Holland France Germany every community the tiniest village they have magnificent pristine sports facilities.

If I had a personal wish for the new ideas in this new book it would be that every parent every counselor every teacher every professor every sports coach that deals with young people would understand the three circle concept.

I sort of try to write everything for me. I'm a huge sports fan but have no interest in minutiae. I don't remember who won Super Bowls five years ago or listen to sports talk radio. I'm trying to make sure the jokes are self-contained so they're accessible to everyone.

I think everybody has something that takes them away or makes them happier. To some people it's baseball or sports or knitting or the movies.

There's nothing masculine about being competitive. There's nothing masculine about trying to be the best at everything you do nor is there anything wrong with it. I don't know why a female athlete has to defend her femininity just because she chooses to play sports.

Not everyone likes sports. Gandhi and Malcolm X come to mind.

Sports are not for everyone.

That's what I'd like to do on the President's Council. Make sports and athletics available to every youth in America not just one day a week like it was for me but every day.
