“If it’s good enough for Tiger, it’s good enough for us, right?”

"I knew I wasn't in the greatest positions in my swing at the Masters," Woods said. "But my timing was great, so I got away with it. And I made almost every putt. You can have a wonderful week like that even when your swing isn't sound. But can you still contend in tournaments with that swing when your timing isn't good? Will it hold up over a long period of time? The answer to those questions, with the swing I had, was no. And I wanted to change that."

Polonius to his son Laertes in William Shakespeare's Hamlet: "This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night follow the day, thou canst not then be false to any man."

Its not what what we give but what we share,
For the gift without the giver is bare.
Who gives of himself of his alms feeds three,
Himself, his hungering neighbor, and me.
