“If you don’t win a Super Bowl, you’re not considered successful in the National Football League. I can remember, when we finally won that first one, feeling so good for the players and fans.”

I wouldn’t think I would coach again, because it would just be hard not being in the Cowboys’ blue.

I learned early in sports that to be effective – for a player to play the best he can play – is a matter of concentration and being unaware of distractions, positive or negative.

I just didn’t want to leave the Cowboys when they were down.

Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you’re in control, they’re in control.

A winner never stops trying.

If you are prepared, you will be confident, and will do the job.

The secret to winning is constant, consistent management.

Look at Bjorn Borg or Jack Nicklaus. Those guys really concentrate. With the world on their shoulders, they’re so absorbed with what they’re doing.

Character is the ability of a person to see a positive end of things. This is the hope that a man of character has.

If you’re disciplined enough, you don’t get down when you’re behind, and you have a chance to create something positive.

Every coach has his own style of play, but when you spend your whole life as a Cowboy, you have to be influenced by what we did.

If I had to pick my greatest strength as a football coach, I say it would be innovation.

People striving, being knocked down and coming back… this is what builds character in a man.

Therefore, I never worry about tomorrow or never worry about winning or losing football games. That knowledge gives me a lot of composure in tough situations.

Today, you have 100% of your life left.

Really, coaching is simplicity. It’s getting players to play better than they think that they can.

If we only make merit but have not stopped doing bad things, then we will never have a day of completion. It is like an overturned bowl which is left outside in the rain.

I made a wish on a sliver of moonlight A sly grin and a bowl full of stars.

I think dates considered super corny and cheesy – whether it’s going bowling or miniature golf or something where you can be competitive and just have fun with each other – those always make the most memorable dates!

I was nineteen and I put a bowl on and I said, Cut around! Because it was not the fashion at the time when I did that hairdo – and I kept it all my life!

I would sacrifice 1,000 yards rushing to win a Super Bowl.

A painting of a bowl of fruit is much easier. It’s for the same reason why we don’t like going to the doctor.

I said “I’ve had pho,” and then he goes, “Oh, what do you get, the number one big bowl?” I was like, “Come on, man

I’m not kidding you, to utter these words aloud is so surreal to me – but to say, “I had to give up my Super Bowl tickets for my all-expense paid research trip to Argentina’s wine country,”
