To rise above the modifications of your mind, when you cease your mind, when you cease to be a part of your mind, that is yoga.
Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home. - J.K. Rowling
Why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. - J.K. Rowling
With all of their benefits, and there are many, one of the things I regret about e-books is that they have taken away the necessity of trawling foreign bookshops or the shelves of holiday houses to find something to read. I've come across gems and stinkers that way, and both can be fun. - J.K. Rowling
You place too much importance... on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be! - J.K. Rowling
You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. - J.K. Rowling
Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young. - J.K. Rowling
Approach the game with no preset agendas and you'll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts. - Phil Jackson
As much as we pump iron and we run to build our strength up, we need to build our mental strength up... so we can focus... so we can be in concert with one another. - Phil Jackson
Basketball is a simple game. Your goal is penetration, get the ball close to the basket, and there are three ways to do that. Pass, dribble and offensive rebound. - Phil Jackson
Coaching is about, "How do I get people to play at their peak level?" It is a spiritual quest. And if it's not that, you don't have a challenge, you don't have a mission. Forming a brotherhood and trying to move it forward - that's what coaching is. - Phil Jackson
For us tall people, the whole key is that your hips and your knees should form a right angle when you sit down. That's where backs and hips get to be problems for big guys. - Phil Jackson
I think the most important thing about coaching is that you have to have a sense of confidence about what you're doing. You have to be a salesman, and you have to get your players, particularly your leaders, to believe in what you're trying to accomplish on the basketball floor. - Phil Jackson
If we can accept whatever hand we've been dealt - no matter how unwelcome - the way to proceed eventually becomes clear. - Phil Jackson
If you have a clear mind . . . you won't have to search for direction. Direction will come to you. - Phil Jackson
I'm a sports-watcher. I played football and baseball, coached baseball. So I watch those things. - Phil Jackson
I'm not going to coach again. I've done my coaching, and I think I can put that aside. - Phil Jackson
Like life, basketball is messy and unpredictable. It has its way with you, no matter how hard you try to control it. The trick is to experience each moment with a clear mind and open heart. When you do that, the game - and life - will take care of itself. - Phil Jackson
My father was a man who didn't consider himself learned. He was a man who liked to be a farmer. He enjoyed his dairy farm and felt the calling. So there was a dedication. I was dedicated as a child to the service of God, and so there was this continual centering of a greater purpose than your own. - Phil Jackson
