I always want my players to show class, knock'em down, pat on the back, and run back to the huddle.

It's not the will to win that matters-everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters.

You never know how a horse will pull until you hook him to a heavy load.

Don't give up at half time. Concentrate on winning the second half.

Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit.

Sure, I'd love to beat Notre Dame, don't get me wrong. But nothing matters more than beating that cow college on the other side of the state!

There is a big difference in wanting to and willing to.

Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.

I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.

Little things make the difference. Everyone is well prepared in the big things, but only the winners perfect the little things.

The first time you quit, it's hard. The second time, it gets easier. The third time, you don't even have to think about it.

Life is not profound without its own tragedy. It humbles us. Sets the bar for our introspection. Keeps us from believing we are gods. Puts our egos in check.

No time for better words, no time to unsay anything. -Til We Have Faces

We do not so much want books for good people, as books which will make bad ones better.

At least being nuts is being somewhere.

Only the believers pick up the prizes in life.

It's a good thing to learn early that other people's opinions do not matter, unless they happen to be true.

If you want to become the best runner you can be, start now. Don't spend the rest of your life wondering if you can do it.

When it's time to stop living, I will certainly make Death my number one choice!

What is fright by night is curiosity by day.

When your own fans whistle and jeer, then you have a big problem.
