Whoever relies on the Tao in governing men
doesn’t try to force issues
or defeat enemies by force of arms.
For every force there is a counterforce.
Violence, even well intentioned,
always rebounds upon oneself.
The Master does his job
and then stops.
He understands that the universe
is forever out of control,
and that trying to dominate events
goes against the current of the Tao.
Because he believes in himself,
he doesn’t try to convince others.
Because he is content with himself,
he doesn’t need others’ approval.
Because he accepts himself,
the whole world accepts him.
I don�??t know what to say, really. Three minutes till the biggest battle of our professional lives all comes down to today. Now either we heal as a team or we�??re gonna crumble, inch by inch, play by play, 'til we�??re finished.
We�??re in hell right now, gentlemen, believe me. And, we can stay here – get the shit kicked out of us – or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell one inch at a time.
Now, I can�??t do it for you. I�??m too old. I look around. I see these young faces, and I think – I mean – I made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I, uh, I pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who�??s ever loved me. And lately, I can�??t even stand the face I see in the mirror.
You know, when you get old in life things get taken from you. I mean that’s…part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out life�??s this game of inches. So is football. Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small – I mean one-half a step too late, or too early, and you don�??t quite make it. One-half second too slow, too fast, you don�??t quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They�??re in every break of the game, every minute, every second.
On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch, because we know when we add up all those inches that�??s gonna make the fuckin’ difference between winning and losing! Between livin’ and dyin’!
I�??ll tell you this: In any fight, it�??s the guy who�??s willing to die who�??s gonna win that inch. And I know if I�??m gonna have any life anymore, it�??s because I�??m still willin’ to fight and die for that inch. Because that�??s what livin’ is! The six inches in front of your face!!
Now I can�??t make you do it. You got to look at the guy next to you. Look into his eyes! Now I think you�??re gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you. You’re gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team because he knows, when it comes down to it, you�??re gonna do the same for him!
That�??s a team, gentleman!
And, either we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals.
That�??s football guys.
That’s all it is.
Now, what are you gonna do?

Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
Cheshire Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.
Alice: I don�??t much care where. . .
Chesire Cat: Then it doesn�??t matter which way you go.
