Pastoral Resources

I know a lot of people on the field - players, coaches, managers - are glad that I'm gone.

That didn't happen. Still, I had six pretty good years and one where I didn't reach what I wanted for myself or the club. I don't accept that makes you a bad manager or a poor coach. If that is the view I strongly disagree with it.

I've left Boro in the Premiership, which was always what I wanted to do. Actually that's not quite true. I took them to three cup finals, where they'd never been before. But I had set my eyes on being the first manager in their history to deliver a major trophy.

They wanted to jump on their own bandwagon. Bobby Charlton had never made it as a manager. Bobby Moore hadn't either. I think they never stopped trying to put me in the same category. That was the road they went down with me.

Perfect courage is to do without witnesses what one would be capable of doing with the world looking on.

It is not enough to have great qualities; We should also have the management of them.

Good management consists in showing average people how to do the work of superior people.

There are three periods in life: youth, middle age and 'how well you look'.

If I had learned more about business ahead of time, I would have been shaped into believing that it was only about finances and quality management.

Courage is sometimes frail as hope is frail: a fragile shoot between two stones that grows brave toward the sun though warmth and brightness fail, striving and faith the only strength it knows.

I think marriage and athletes is a bad combination.

Never stay in a bad marriage, and don't hang around with psycho coke fiends.

Index investing outperforms active management year after year.

I have a lot of courage. I'm a realist.

Businesses should no longer be allowed to depress wages by hiring illegal labor and then falsely claim that Americans don't want to do the jobs.

We also have to make sure our children know the history of women. Tell them the rotten truth: It wasn't always possible for women to become doctors or managers or insurance people. Let them be armed with a true picture of the way we want it to be.

Our goal is to leverage what is already out in the field in terms of partners, but then hire in project management capability and a bit of technical capability.

But courage which goes against military expediency is stupidity, or, if it is insisted upon by a commander, irresponsibility.

I feel very deeply about the need to respect and tolerate people of different social - or sexual orientation. But at the same time, I believe marriage should be preserved as an institution for one man and one woman.

Like me, the great majority of Americans wish both to preserve the traditional definition of marriage and to oppose bias and intolerance directed towards gays and lesbians.
