Winning isn't imperative, but getting tougher in the fourth quarter is.
Don't worry about making friends; don't worry about making enemies. Worry about winning, because if you win, your enemies can't hurt you, and if you lose, your friends can't stand you.
I don't have any ideas; my coaches have them. I just pass the ideas on and referee the arguments.
I'm not much of a golfer, I don't have any friends and all I like to do is go home and be alone, and not worry about ways not to lose.
The fun never goes out, but it changes with the years, with winning and losing.
The summer day is closed, the sun is set: Well they have done their office, those bright hours, The latest of whose train goes softly out In the red west.
The faint old man shall lean his silver head To feel thee; thou shalt kiss the child asleep, And dry the moistened curls that overspread His temples, while his breathing grows more deep.
Being inside Tiger Stadium is like being on the inside of a drum.
Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.
In my lifetime, I may have put too much emphasis on winning, because here I am an old man and the only fun I've had is winning, and that's ridiculous.
Here's a twenty, bury two.
People who are in it for their own good are individualists. They don't share the same heartbeat that makes a team so great. A great unit, whether it be football or any organization, shares the same heartbeat.
Don't ever give up on ability. Don't give up on a player who has it.
I don't hire anybody not brighter than I am. If they're not brighter than I am, I don't need them.
