616 Quotes by Kobe Bryant

Good coaches tell you where the fish are, great coaches teach you how to find them.

I have ‘like minds.’ You know, I’ve been fortunate to play in Los Angeles, where there are a lot of people like me. Actors. Musicians. Businessmen. Obsessives. People who feel like God put them on earth to do whatever it is that they do. Now, do we have time to build great relationships? Do we have time to build great friendships? No. Do we have time to socialize and to hang out aimlessly? No. Do we want to do that? No. We want to work. I enjoy working.

I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I'm like, 'My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don't have it. I just want to chill.' We all have self-doubt. You don't deny it, but you also don't capitulate to it. You embrace it.

If you really want to be great at something you have to truly care about it. If you want to be great in a particular area, you have to obsess over it.

Those times when you get up early and you work hard; those times when you stay up late and you work hard; those times when you don’t feel like working, you’re too tired, you don’t want to push yourself, but you do it anyway; that is actually the dream. That’s the dream. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.

May you always remember to enjoy the road, especially when it’s a hard one.

You have to work hard in the dark to shine in the light

I think the definition of greatness is to inspire the people next to you.

Walk until the darkness is a memory and you become the sun on the next traveler's horizon.
