The only thing even in this world is the number of hours in a day. The difference in winning or losing is what you do with those hours.
There's nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you.
We do not pull in and fill up. And I'll tell you why we don't. It's because I don't buy one goddamn drop of gas in the state of Michigan. We'll coast and push this goddamn car to the Ohio line before I give this state a nickel of my money.
Because I couldn't go for three.
I've had smarter people around me all my life, but I haven't run into one yet that can outwork me. And if they can't outwork you, then smarts aren't going to do them much good. That's just the way it is. And if you believe that and live by it, you'd be surprised at how much fun you can have. “Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect.
You can never really pay back. You can only pay forward.
Football represents and embodies everything that's great about this country, because the United States of America is built on winners, not losers or people who didn't bother to play.
Perfect preparation prevents piss-poor performance.
Nothing that comes easy in this world is worth a damn.
Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect.
It does not matter the size of the man, rather the amount of effort the man is willing to put forth

You don't get hurt running straight ahead...three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust offense. I will pound you and pound you until you quit.
Paralyze resistance with persistence.
The height of human desire is what wins, whether it’s on Normandy Beach or in Ohio Stadium.
Even the best team, without a sound plan, can't score.
I've had smarter people around me all my life, but I haven't run into one yet that can outwork me. And if they can't outwork you, then smarts aren't going to do them much good.
When you're winning - you don't need any friends. When you're losing - you don't have any friends anyway.
I recruited a Czech kicker, and during the eye exam, when asked to read the bottom line, the kicker replied, Read it? I know him.
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.
I don't like nice people. I like tough, honest people.
Statistics always remind me of fellow who drowned in a river where the average depth was only three feet.
We control by attitudes-positive mental attitudes-not by rules.
Indomitable in victory, insufferable in defeat.
You'll find out that nothing that comes easy is worth a dime. As a matter of fact, I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face. Never.
