And the trouble with me is that my ego just can't accept a loss. I suppose that if I were more perfectly adjusted, I would toss off defeat, but my name is on this ball club. Thirty-six men publicly reflect me and reflect on me, and it's a matter of my pride.

Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing. If you can shrug off a loss, you can never be a winner!

I will demand a commitment to excellence and to victory, and that is what life is all about.

To play this game (football) you must have fire in you, and there is nothing that strokes fire like hate.

Gentlemen, this is the football.

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

You defeat defeatism with confidence.
