More quotes by Dwight Howard
My purpose in life, my goal for the NBA is to preach God's word - not just try to beat everybody over the head with a Bible but just being a good example and always conducting myself in a Christian-like manner.
Dwight Howard
I've been on the side where you have nothing, and now I'm on the side where anything I want is there for me. When I didn't have the means to do whatever I wanted to do, I still had peace.
Dwight Howard
When I'm anywhere, I'm going to show God that I'm thankful just for life. I'm living out my dream. This is what I want to do.

I would never, ever desert my child. A lot of my friends didn't have fathers growing up, and they were very upset that their fathers weren't around. I was lucky to have mine around.
Dwight Howard
You really can't please people. I know everybody's attention is on what I'm doing on the floor.
Dwight Howard
The biggest thing is always being around people that are going to lift you up and not bring you down. That's why I prayed for God to send me some good friends. He's done that. I don't really have a lot of friends, but the friends I do have are great.
Dwight Howard
The hardest thing to do is to trust people. Even if you know them from way back when, it's hard to trust people. There's a lot we have to deal with, and it's the price of fame.
Dwight Howard
I just want to show Atalanta who I really am and show my teammates what kind of teammate I am.
Dwight Howard
I'm a fun person to be around, laid back, love to have fun.

My team in Orlando was a team full of people who nobody wanted, and I was the leader and I led that team with a smile on my face.

I do a lot of exercises where I'm so tired that I'm not supposed to do the last rep. What that does is it teaches me that no matter how far I am, how hard I've fallen, I'm never out of the fight. I just take that with me every time I'm in the weight room.
