A man is always better than he thinks.

In football we always said that the other team couldn't beat us. We had to be sure that we didn't beat ourselves. And that's what people have to do, too - make sure they don't beat themselves.

The height of human desire is what wins, whether it’s on Normandy Beach or in Ohio Stadium.

Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

The only way we'd get beaten was if we got a little fat-headed, if we didn't train right, if we had dissension on the squad.

Statistics always remind me of fellow who drowned in a river where the average depth was only three feet.

To hell with exciting. I'd rather be drab as hell and win.
