"You've got to have great athletes to..." - Quote by Lou Holtz

“We were at a beach one summer, and I had a bathing suit on. My wife looked at me and said: 'Boy, you are skinny, aren't you?' I said: 'Honey, I'd like to remind you that it was minor defects like this that kept me from getting a better wife.'”

“I think that we have opportunities all around us - sometimes we just don't recognize them.”

“Winners and losers aren't born, they are the products of how they think”

“The common belief that coaches must be abusive to be successful is a myth. Research shows that if you find a task fun, you'll perform better. If more coaches took . . . a Golden Rule approach to coaching, treating their players the way they themselves would like to be treated, fewer athletes would drop out of sports in their teens, and more athletes at every level would be happier and more satisfied.”

“Absolutely. There are a 1000 better coaches in the cities, but I'm the best in the country.”

“We could all use a little coaching. When you're playing the game, it's hard to think of everything.”

“While President, I have been President - emphatically.”

“It is not enough to give orders they must be obeyed.”

“So much of the presidency is a matter of standing in the path of a Newsham Engine for Quenching Fires, opening one's mouth, and attempting to get a drink.”
