Clifton Davis quotes

  • The whole bible is the working out of the relationship between God and man. God is not a dictator barking out orders and demanding silent obedience. Were it so, there would be no relationship at all. No real relationship goes just one way. There are always two active parties.

But if you maintain strong family values and you believe in God, you can be successful. So, it's been tough, but I've gotten through it because I stuck with my family and my deep belief in God.

Once you get that big head, it’s over. You feel like you can’t be stopped. Staying humble is the only way you can be great.

  • Plus, in one of his e-mails, the guy said he didn't like pancakes. What kind of ***** doesn't like pancakes?

  • But I guess I like playing flawed guys 'cause it gives a place for the characters to go.

  • I'm not playing for anybody but the guys in this locker room.

  • Inside I knew he was meant to be the guy that taught me about life. Even if he broke my heart eventually.

  • And in a world without heroes, as the movie trailer voice-over guy might say, the slightly awkward can be slightly cool.
