“I won’t accept anything less than the best a player’s capable of doing… and he has the right to expect the best that I can do for him and the team!”

The second Saturday in September, we’re going to have conference day. Everybody from the SEC plays a Big 12 team.

I was raised in a religious environment, and my wife is one of the more religious people that I have ever known.

I do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it’s not always in the way you expect.

I believe – we all pay taxes. I’m happy to pay it, but I hate to have it abused, money wasted, no accountability. That’s going to bother you.

We have so many athletes do so many wonderful things for other people, and you never read about it.

I’ll assure you this: I will have nothing to do with politics.

God answers prayers, but he doesn’t always answer it your way.

I just have an enthusiasm for life.

Had I been a great athlete, I’m not sure I would have even gone into coaching.

Our cellar home had a kitchen and a combination bedroom and half bath, which meant we had a sink next to the bed.

We can all be successful and make money, but when we die, that ends.

I don’t exercise.

As a coach, one thing that used to frustrate me was one player would make a bad decision, and that’s all you would read about in the papers all over the country.

I may have turned out feeling that my life ended when my athletic career ended, as happens so many times with various athletes.

You’re never as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you’re never as bad as they say when you lose.

Don’t be a spectator, don’t let life pass you by.

When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future.

I don’t really like labels in politics, but I will gladly accept the label of conservatism.

I have this thing about being acknowledged and accepted by institutions.

You explain right well, and you shew that you understand argument and are not a mere sophist since you accept that which cannot be denied.

A good parent, a good neighbour, a good citizen, is not good because his specific goals are acceptable, but because his successive goals are ordered to a dependable and socially desirable set of values. (1947)

The kingdom of music is not the kingdom of this world; it will accept those whom breeding and intellect and culture have alike rejected.

I can look violence in the face and either reject or accept it.

You accept whoever you are interacting with, directly, or indirectly.
