“A good, quick, small team can beat a big, slow team any time.”

Expect the unexpected.

Losing doesn’t make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.

If you are going to be a successful duck hunter, you must go where the ducks are.

I didn’t have a thing to do with picking a coach, and didn’t want to. But I didn’t think they’d pick one I didn’t like.

Little things make the difference. Everyone is well prepared in the big things, but only the winners perfect the little things.

Recruiting is the one thing I hate. I won’t do it unless my coaches tell me I’ve just got to. The whole process is kind of undignified for me and the young man.

I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.

Don’t give up. Reach down inside of you and you’ll find something left.

I ain’t never been nothin but a winner.

I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games.

When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover – you can’t do both.

Set goals – high goals for you and your organization. When your organization has a goal to shoot for, you create teamwork, people working for a common good.

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.

It is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds, though he risks everything.

Let France have good mothers, and she will have good sons.

I just want to be like a good example to somebody in the future.

Good guys don’t always win, especially when they are divided and less determined than their adversaries.

Free yourself from the illusion of good and bad days. Labeling time makes us nostalgic of the past and demanding of the future. There is only here and now. Let it be.

Hard words are very rarely useful. Real firmness is good for every thing. Strut is good for nothing.

Happy will it be if our choice should be directed by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good. But this is a thing more ardently to be wished than seriously to be expected.

There is no evildoer who could not be made good for something.
