P.M. Forni Quotations

He uses finesse and muscle and has a great shooting touch. We even let him handle the ball.

We've been running it (the sag press) all year. The key is to transition out of it and get quickly into our man coverage.

We knew it was going to be a tough week. Those are probably the two toughest places in the league to play.

Sometimes informality breeds rudeness. Maybe companies that are very informal manage to keep stress levels down. But if it's very informal, workers might not know what their boundaries are.

Our defense saved us. After the first quarter, we weren't scoring, but we weren't allowing them to score either.

They think the world revolves around them and they are not considerate. They are not kind. They are trapped in a cage of narcissism we have built for them.

They played us tough. We couldn't seem to get a spark.

It was nice that we could get everybody in the game, and it was a good way for our seniors to play their last (regular-season) game at home.

When we complain, we often project onto others the dissatisfaction of how we're dealing with our own lives.

Don't discount the power of your words. The thought that they might cause unnecessary hurt or discomfort should inform every conversation.

These small indignities and minor cruelties take a toll. They add to the burden of stress and fatigue that is already present in the workplace and they have real consequences on the every day lives of workers.

Few things would gratify me as much as a rediscovered respect for things belonging to others. Not abusing the property of others (or that of the community) is one of the ways in which we respect others. It is an essential part of being considerate guests, no matter where we are: in an airplane, in a friend's home, in a movie theater, in a doctor's office, in a public library, or in a public square.

If we are kind and considerate, people will want to be around us, and we benefit from enduring circles of attention and care.

Respecting others' opinions doesn't mean being untrue to our own.

Bragging is often merely a ladder we build for ourselves out of words when we are afraid we are not tall enough in the eyes of the world. It is an unwitting confession to low self-esteem.

When the healthy pursuit of self-interest and self-realizatio n turns into self-absorption , other people can lose their intrinsic value in our eyes and become mere means to the fulfillment of our needs and desires.

Civility means a great deal more than just being nice to one another. It is complex and encompasses learning how to connect successfully and live well with others, developing thoughtfulness, and fostering effective self-expression and communication. Civility includes courtesy, politeness, mutual respect, fairness, good manners, as well as a matter of good health. Taking an active interest in the well-being of our community and concern for the health of our society is also involved in civility.

Along with the physical, the mental aspect of the game is very important and we are handling that part of the game very well.

The future of civility in America needn't be dismal. It isn't true that nice guys finish last -- if they are also smart... I think the new century is going to be a century of connecting. Those (individuals and organizations) that look at others with inherent value will succeed.
