Citas del bien mayor

• Hay muchos equipos en todos los deportes que tienen grandes jugadores y nunca ganan títulos. La mayoría de las veces, esos jugadores no están dispuestos a sacrificarse por el bien del equipo. Lo curioso es que, al final, su falta de voluntad de sacrificio sólo hace que los objetivos individuales sean más difíciles de alcanzar. Una cosa en la que creo a pies juntillas es que si piensas y consigues cosas como un equipo, los logros individuales vendrán por sí solos. El talento gana partidos, pero el trabajo en equipo y la inteligencia ganan campeonatos.

• The local interest of a State ought in every case to give way to the interests of the Union.

• Let's be about leaving this world better than we find it each and every day. Our life is a testimony and through us divine loving is becoming more manifest.
