I have won the Australian, I won the British, all PGA championships, but I haven't won the PGA championship.
Arnold Palmer
I stopped playing in the Masters in 2004, I stopped playing in the Par-3 [Contest], and now it's time to end this part of my Masters career. I would love to go on doing it forever, but I don't have the physical capability to hit the shot the way I would want to hit it. So I'll have to be content to watch.
Arnold Palmer
The secret of concentration is the secret of self-discovery. You reach inside yourself to discover your personal resources, and what it takes to match them to the challenge.
Arnold Palmer
Hit it hard, go find it and hit it hard again.
Arnold Palmer

I would not have been able to accomplish a lot of what I did professionally had I not learned to fly myself and owned an airplane. For example, I was able to fly to an exhibition for the day and be back home in time for dinner. I never would have been able to do that flying commercially.

Arnold Palmer
If you're stupid enough to whiff, you should be smart enough to forget it.
Arnold Palmer
Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening - and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.
Arnold Palmer
In my early days of flying, if you flew on instruments, you were inevitably going to fly in thunderstorms. That was just a part of the business of flying.
Arnold Palmer
Establish a system you have confidence in and rely on it when you get into tough situations.
Arnold Palmer

Arnold Palmer
One thing I've learned over time is, if you hit a golf ball into water, it won't float.
Arnold Palmer
As for 1994 [ U.S. Open], I didn't do very well, but it was a great occasion for me even though I was not playing the way I had hoped. And it was obviously a very emotional day that last day, but it was a great memory for me and I have had a lot of great memories at Oakmont over the years.
Arnold Palmer
If you are really serious about playing golf and playing good golf, stick to the basic fundamentals. Sure, there's going to be a little change here and a change there, but you don't want to make them. You want to stick to the things that you started with, and you learned, and you know how to apply them.
Arnold Palmer
I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
Arnold Palmer
Putting is a fascinating, aggravating, wonderful, terrible and almost incomprehensible part of the game of golf.
Arnold Palmer
I would like to have won more golf tournaments. But I wouldn't sacrifice my life. I've enjoyed it. I'd love to do it again the same way.
Arnold Palmer
