This was one of my great grandfather's favorite sayings to his students. He taught school from 1872 until his death in 1924.

My dad said this to me all my life -- starting in the 1950s. Somehow I don't think this can be attributed to a basketball player born in 1976. Good quote, though!

This quote is much older than Tim Duncan. (My mother used to repeat it to me when I was growing up.) A brief search shows that the original author was most likely St. Jerome (circa the 4th or 5th century).

Adlai Stevenson used this quote years before Tim Duncan's Mother shared it with him. My own mother quoted this line to me back in the late 50's/early 60's.
