“No one has ever drowned in sweat.”

Twenty-five years ago, people talked about their obligations and responsibilities.

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

You aren’t going to find anybody that’s going to be successful without making a sacrifice and without perseverance.

How do you know what it’s like to be stupid if you’ve never been smart?

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.

I do think coaches need to get away from the game more, though. It’s good for them.

My wife doesn’t even want to spend 2 hours with me.

The University of Notre Dame does not redshirt, and I endorse that policy completely.

I think everyone should experience defeat at least once during their career. You learn a lot from it.

If you’re bored with life – you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don’t have enough goals.

Nothing on this earth is standing still. It’s either growing or it’s dying. No matter if it’s a tree or a human being.

You don’t go to Notre Dame to learn something; you go to Notre Dame to be somebody.

I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they’d be, what position they’d play and so on.

I think that we have opportunities all around us – sometimes we just don’t recognize them.
