Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment.
You can't control all the crazy stuff that happens to you. All you can control is the way you handle it.
Pain is an event. It happens to you, and you deal with it in whatever way you can.
Play fair, be prepared for others to play dirty, and don't let them drag you into the mud.
Seek advice, but make sure it's from someone who has successfully handled mistakes or adversities.
We cannot control what others do to us, but through God we can control the way we respond to them.
When you lose, there is a whole bunch of room for negativity and I don't feed into this stuff and I do not do any talking. I don't run my mouth.
Pain comes at me and I take it, chew it for a few minutes, and spit it back out. It's just not my thing anymore.
I'm comfortable with bad news. I feel confident in my ability to solve the problem if I know that there's a problem.
The great pilot can sail even when his canvass is rent.
What matters is not how well you can avoid trouble, but how you cope with trouble when it comes.
You can have a bad opponent out there and still get the job done. You just have to work around certain things.
Aggression means emotions. Emotions means you’re gonna get off your plan and that means you’ll lose the fight.
One cannot get through life without pain...What we can do is choose how to use the pain life presents to us.
My dad always says, some people will treat you badly and you can't help that. But how you handle it and how it makes you feel, that's up to you.
My mom and my real father divorced before I was one. My mom and my stepfather divorced when I was in high school. Then she fell in love with a guy, and the guy died. That was a rough time. She has handled adversity well. That's where I got my work ethic. So my mother's where I got my love of music, but my father's where I got my athletic ability. And my hair loss. And my love of women.
I've dealt with bigger things than the odd performance, dealt with a hell of a long time out of the game from an injury which shouldn't have kept me out for that long. I've had to deal with fears of not playing again, I'm a bigger man for it and I will be better for it in the future.
Never turn your back on fear. It should always be in front of you, like a thing that might have to be killed.
A high heart ought to bear calamities and not flee them, since in bearing them appears the grandeur of the mind and in fleeing them the cowardice of the heart.
Any time you experience adversity, whether you lose a game or maybe have an official who makes a poor call that costs you the game, you've gotta handle yourself properly. Just like in life, not everything will go your way.

I'm not saying attacks doesn't bother Donald Trump. I'm not saying that he's immune to it. I'm not saying that he doesn't feel it, but I don't think he's the kind of guy that's gonna cave to it, and I don't think he's gonna sue for peace. I think just the opposite.
The moment an ill can be patiently handled, it is disarmed of its poison, though not of its pain.
I've tried, at every step in life, to find a lesson. And accepting criticism with the same grace that you do the applause is something every young athlete needs to learn. ... I think it served me well to learn how to handle everything that came with the game's ups and downs. Some people call it growing another layer of skin. I just call it growing up.
Never complain about the officiating. It does no good. During the game I don't want to be fighting two opponents.
