I've had many a player tell me all through high school and right up until signing day that they were coming to Alabama, then they signed with somebody else.

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.

After one has read everything and thought everything, one still have everything to learn.

Of course one kiss changes things. If it's done right, a kiss changes everything.

Your voices break and falter in the darkness, Break, falter, and are still.

Necessity is harsh. Fate has no reprieve.

I'm going home the old way with a light hand on the reins making the long approach.

To love our enemy is impossible. The moment we understand our enemy, we feel compassion towards him/her, and he/she is no longer our enemy.

Old gardeners never die; they just very slowly turn into the most magnificent compost. But what a marvellous, active brew it is!

What is a mom but the sunshine of our days and the north star of our nights.

Golf is a great way for someone to learn discipline, responsibility and sportsmanship.?

Genuine beginnings begin within us, even when they are brought to our attention by external opportunities.
