I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life.

Live simply so that others may simply live.

To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being.

There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.

My Life is My Message

To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.

Your beliefs become your thoughts, Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

We are a company that lives and breathes a philosophy that's centered on not only making sound business decisions but also personally and professionally finding ways to contribute to the well being of society. We are also a company that understands community.

I have to tell you, I'm proudest of my life off the court. There will always be great basketball players who bounce that little round ball, but my proudest moments are affecting people's lives, effecting change, being a role model in the community.

I motivate others by making sure that they understand to go after their dreams and don't let anyone tell you you can't. If you are motivated enough and put the work in that you can achieve anything in life that you set your mind to.

No one plans to get sick or hurt - I certainly didn't - but most people will need medical care at some point in their lives.

Just celebrate the life you had, not the life you could've had.

To me, everything is wonderful. Life is wonderful.

I look three to five years ahead, not 10 years behind.

Life doesn't stop because something happens to you.

My dad worked two jobs his whole life, and so I told him he's the reason I have 20 jobs.

I am and will always be a Laker for life.

I'm from there. You know, when you grow up with these people and see them every day and then you look at the numbers it was easy; it was a no-brainer. And when Sony took a look, it was a no-brainer to them, too.

Magic is crazy. He is that crazy wild guy on the basketball court that is very intense and very serious. He is the guy who lives and eats and breathes basketball.

I've always been a leader my whole life. I've always led. I didn't know how to do anything else.

I like things going on in my life. I don't want to be on a beach somewhere just relaxing.

In life, winning and losing will both happen. What is never acceptable is quitting.

For me, it always goes back to something I learned in basketball. There's winning and there's losing, and in life you have to know they both will happen. But what's never been acceptable to me is quitting.
