“When I die, and people realize that I will not be resurrected in three days, they will forget me. That is the way it should be.”

When I didn’t collect, the balance came out of my profit. My average income was six dollars a week.

I don’t think there’s been anything in the game of football in my lifetime that has changed college football more than redshirting.

We had no refrigerator, no shower or tub, and no privacy. My parents shared the bedroom with my sister and me.

The key to winning is choosing to do God’s will and loving others with all you’ve got.

Sacrifice, discipline and prayer are essential. We gain strength through God’s word.

I also had to collect thirty cents a week from each customer. I owed the paper twenty cents per customer per week, and got to keep the rest.

I’m an old man, and all my life I’ve said that Notre Dame should remain independent because it’s a national school.

Motivation is simple. You eliminate those who are not motivated.

After winning, most teams become individuals; most teams become complacent.

All my life, I’ve been trying to make a hole-in-one. The closest I’ve come is a bogey.

To win a national championship, you’ve got to be a little lucky.

I have to admit, I sometimes wonder how much more successful I would have been as a coach had it not been for my spending summers on the golf course.

I truly believe the things Notre Dame stands for.

Success means doing as excellent a job as you can on that particular day. The people I admire most aren’t necessarily the most wonderful athletes.

From that day on it was as if Ren freed me from gravity. I was floating in the sky. Higher. Higher. Higher.

Imagine one day, the hateful world around you collapses. And it is your attitude, words and actions that put an end to it. Will you be excited?

Yet just as the day has two halves, one governed by the sun and the other by the moon.

I often went entire days without speaking – unable to get a word in over my inner taskmaster, who never shut up:

In the days that followed I couldn’t stop thinking about him. It made me believe maybe there was such thing as love at first sight, if not between a girl and a boy, then at least between a girl and a horse.

Every day we hear about a new invention here and there and they are reducing considerably their consumption of oil.
