Jim liked to start each day with an optimistic outlook.

"You think you can? Think again, mister. You know you can. Got that?"

"To be clear, I said I want your 'A' game, not your 'Eh?' game."

"I always try to give out at least one genuine compliment per day. I don't always succeed."

'Let's go! Let's go! Hustle! ...Relatively speaking.'

'Even in the mundane tasks, aim for perfection!'

"When you put on the uniform, you surrender a part of yourself."

Soccer coach of the year.

'This is gonna be one of those teamwork talks, isn't it?'

'Get out there, Holmes, and pile on!'

"I'm sorry, Doctor, when you said benign growth, I thought you were referring to my husband."

'We got here too late. All his fizz is gone!'

I'm giving them Henry V's speech before Agincourt...

You guys aren't living up to your preseason hype!

"I'll run through it again. Hit those keys."

'I don't want to mention any names, but one of you isn't giving 100% out there.'

"Way to go, guys! When I gave you that pep talk before the game I didn't actually think you'd score a goal!"

Republicans have me feeling reflective about capitalism, in a good way. Uh, oh. You've been with the company 20 years. I appreciate that kind of loyalty. I just want you to know that. Thanks. It also makes me realize that you have few other job options and thus are more or less subject to my whims regarding pay and benefits. Okay, pep talk over. Enjoy your day. Hang on, I could maybe possibly get a job at Coffee King!

'I just love to watch you get the sales staff fired up, Johnson.'

"C'mon guys—birds gotta fly."

'If you carry a big enough stick you don't have to worry about treading softly.'

"Okay. You have two choices. Jump - and discover the joy of flight. . ."

"And remember, kid, you've got Blue Cross."

"Looking good! Feeling great! And soon to be famous!"
