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

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’m no miracle man. I guarantee nothing but hard work.

I tell young players who want to be coaches, who think they can put up with all the headaches and heartaches, can you live without it? If you can live without it, don’t get in it.

Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.

I’ve made so many mistakes that if I don’t make the same mistakes over, we’re going to come pretty close to winning.

There’s a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.

A few minutes ago, I had a hard time getting through the lobby because of all the people. After today, that won’t be happening.

Recognize winners. They come in all forms.

A champion pays an extra price to be better than anyone else.

I’ll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we’ll be champions.

It’s kind of hard to rally around a math class.

All good performance starts with clear goals.

Self-respect. It would make me lovable. And it’s the secret to good sex.

A little flattery makes people feel good about themselves. When you notice someone looking great, give them a compliment.

What Trump is onto is, he’s just saying what’s on his mind. And sometimes it’s not so good. And sometimes it’s. I mean, I can understand where he’s coming from, but I don’t always agree with it.

Luck is everything… My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I’m fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn’t make a good suspense film.

San Francisco would be a good location for a murder mystery.

Money will not purchase character or good government.

I don’t want to become as good as I once was. I want to become better.
