• Don't be daunted. Just do your job. Continue to show up for your piece of it, whatever that might be. If your job is to dance, do your dance. If the divine, cockeyed genius assigned to your case decides to let some sort of wonderment be glimpsed, for just one moment through your efforts, then 'Ole!' And if not, do your dance anyhow. And 'Ole!' to you, nonetheless. I believe this and I feel that we must teach it. 'Ole!' to you, nonetheless, just for having the sheer human love and stubbornness to keep showing up.

You have guys like Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu who make big-time plays which can change the outcome of the game.

• No, [the U.S.] has made it clear that we consider a peaceful resolution an essential aspect of American foreign policy.
