Alex Karras quotes about
Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles.
It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people then to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.
Everybody always wanted me to be sorry, I guess, and I am. And I'm tired of it. And I want to play football and, well, if I can't I'll have to do something else.
I never graduated from Iowa, but I was only there for two terms - Truman's and Eisenhower's.
