I have to get the most energy out of a man and have discovered that it cannot be done if he hates another man. Hate blocks his energy and he isn't up to par until he eliminates it and develops a friendly feeling...(towards all his teammates.)

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.

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.

Play like you're positive on the victory, even though they're leading big now.

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.

I don't like to lose, and that isn't so much because it is just a football game, but because defeat means the failure to reach your objective.

I've found that prayers work best when you have big players.
