Duke Quotations

I'm fortunate now that I coach at Duke University and we've won a lot. I have some kids who haven't failed that much. But when they get to college, they're going to fail some time. That's a thing that I can help them the most with.
Mike Krzyzewski

Christine Keeler

Gray Davis

Jason Williams

Ed Smith
