"I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. No..." - Quote by Kobe Bryant

“I was just letting the shots fly. You know, I don't leave any bullets in the chamber.”

“It doesn't matter to me what place I get traded to. If I was traded someplace - I'd play anywhere.”

“We don’t just live in a celebrity take-down culture; we live in a take-down culture. People will find anything about you and twist it to where it’s weird or wrong or annoying or strange or bad. You have to live your life not only in spite of people who don’t understand you - you have to have more fun than they do.”

“Against criticism a man can neither protest nor defend himself; he must act in spite of it, and then it will gradually yield to him.”

“Obstacles cannot bend me. Every obstacle yields to effort.”

“Never flinch. Make up your own mind and do it.”

“No, the thing that makes for greatness is determination, persisting in the right direction over the long haul, following your dream, staying at the task.”
