“When you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: 1. Admit it. 2. Learn from it, and 3. Don’t repeat it.”

I’d like for people to remember me as a winner, because I ain’t never been nothin but a winner.

You win games with your strengths, not your weaknesses.

I’ll never give up on a player regardless of his ability as long as he never gives up on himself. In time he will develop.

No coach has ever won a game by what he knows; it’s what his players know that counts.

I’m no innovator. If anything I’m a stealer, or borrower. I’ve stolen or borrowed from more people than you can shake a stick at.

In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity; every player must put the team first ahead of personal glory.

Have a plan. Follow the plan, and you’ll be surprised how successful you can be. Most people don’t have a plan. That’s why it’s easy to beat most folks.

If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes real good, then you did it. That’s all it takes to get people to win football games for you.

Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don’t forget them when they leave.

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

I can reach a kid who doesn’t have any ability as long as he doesn’t know it.

Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.

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.

There is no substitute for guts.

I don’t hire anybody not brighter than I am. If they’re not brighter than I am, I don’t need them.

Don’t tolerate lazy people. They are losers.

You are not realistic unless you believe in miracles!

I don’t know if I believe in luck. I think I’m very fortunate.

when pain has been intertwined with love and closeness, it’s very difficult to believe that love and closeness can be experienced without pain.

By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God.

I’m just a believer in keeping all of the creative brain cells moving and working even when you’re not working because the inevitable loneliness and boring drought in the actor’s world, it can eat you alive.

Do not believe that you alone can be right.The man who thinks that,The man who maintains that only he has the power To reason correctly, the gift to speak, the soul-A man like that, when you know him, turns out empty.

Imagining anything is the first step toward creating it. Believing in a true self is what allows a true self to be born.

Of the gods we believe, and of men we know, that by a necessary law of their nature they rule wherever they can.
