The best thing I ever learned in life was that things have to be worked for. A lot of people seem to think there is some sort of magic in making a winning football team. There isn't, but there's plenty of work.

The morning we left South Bend, every student and professor was out of bed long before breakfast and marched downtown accompanying the team to the railroad station. It was the first time I'd seen anything like this mass hysteria generated on the Notre Dame campus over a football game.

When you were riding on the crest of a wave, youwere most likely to be missing out on something.

At home we're the hosts, and I never liked the idea of being embarrassed in front of our friends.

Generalities don't count and won't help you in football.

I enjoy talking to my football men and my chemistry classes and I feel sure that they are quite interested in what I have to say.

It isn't necessary to see a good tackle. You can hear it.
