“If wanting to win is a fault, as some of my critics seem to insist, then I plead guilty. I like to win. I know no other way. It’s in my blood.”

Don’t worry about making friends; don’t worry about making enemies. Worry about winning, because if you win, your enemies can’t hurt you, and if you lose, your friends can’t stand you.

You take those little rascals, talk to them good, pat them on the back, let them think they are good, and they will go out and beat the biguns.

Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself.

Don’t give up at half time. Concentrate on winning the second half.

All I know is, I don’t want to stop coaching, and I don’t want to stop winning, so we’re gonna break the record unless I die.

They say I teach brutal football, but the only thing brutal about football is losing.

In a crisis, don’t hide behind anything or anybody. They’re going to find you anyway.

People who are in it for their own good are individualists. They don’t share the same heartbeat that makes a team so great. A great unit, whether it be football or any organization, shares the same heartbeat.

It’s not the will to win that matters-everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.

If it is worth playing, it is worth paying the price to win.

There’s no use fussing on a boy who doesn’t have any ability.

The fun never goes out, but it changes with the years, with winning and losing.

I told them my system was based on the “ant plan,” that I’d gotten the idea watching a colony of ants in Africa during the war. A whole bunch of ants working toward a common goal.

You’re still going to win with preparation and dedication and plain old desire. If you don’t have genuine desire, you won’t be dedicated enough to prepare properly.

In my lifetime, I may have put too much emphasis on winning, because here I am an old man and the only fun I’ve had is winning, and that’s ridiculous.

Mama wanted me to be a preacher. I told her coachin’ and preachin’ were a lot alike.

I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don’t believe I deserved my friends.

Man in his arrogance thinks himself a great work, worthy of the interposition of a deity. More humble, and I believe truer, to consider him created from animals.

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.

The various reasons which we have enumerated lead us to believe that the new radio-active substance contains a new element which we propose to give the name of radium.

You should never stop believing in something, and you shouldn’t listen to anyone who tells you otherwise.

I don’t really believe in any fashion rules. I think fashion is a form of self-expression, wear whatever you want.

I am what I am. A fighter.

I’m willing to take the brunt for fighting in what I believe in.
