If we'd beaten 'em, I wouldn't be going out.

Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit.

If we'd beaten 'em, I wouldn't be going out.

I'll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we'll be champions.

I want to make sure I don't interfere with the success of that team next year. I don't see any way I could go to practice like most of 'em do, and not hurt the team. I'd go nuts if I tried doing that.

Nearly every coach I've talked with tells me that the attention you get from media and other people is the thing you miss most. I don't know if that's right.

I plan on staying at Alabama for the rest of my career. I guarantee that I'll be here for you through it all, regardless of what happens.

I can remember loving to recruit. I knew I was going to do my best. But traveling and recruiting doesn't appeal to me any more. It's not as much fun as it used to be.

I hope to get out before they start football next year.

The fun never goes out, but it changes with the years, with winning and losing.

I've had many a player tell me all through high school and right up until signing day that they were coming to Alabama, then they signed with somebody else.

It's been years since I've had a real input in the game anyway. For this game, I've just tried to keep all the other stuff away from the players and coaches.

I'm happy with the coach we have. I think any one of the ones I asked them to consider would've been good.

Back 12 years ago, when Dr. Mathews was president here, we had a plan that when I got ready to quit, we'd bring a certain guy in and he'd take over that day and I'd leave. But as time wore on, I realized that wouldn't have been good at all.

I think I'm telling the truth. I sat by Ray Perkins at the Hall of Fame dinner in New York, and at that time he didn't know he was our coach and I didn't either.

I didn't have a thing to do with picking a coach, and didn't want to. But I didn't think they'd pick one I didn't like.

If I miss coaching that much, I could go to some little school where they didn't recruit, where all the kids wanted to go. I believe I could find somewhere to coach.

Georgia Tech beat us and Mississippi Southern tied us last year, and Texas beat us after we had the game won. We only played about five games the way we were capable of playing and lost one of those.

Show class have pride and display character. If you do winning takes care of itself.

Dont give up at half time. Concentrate on winning the second half.

Never quit. It is the easiest cop out in the world. Set a goal and dont quit until you attain it. When you do attain it set another goal and dont quit until you reach it. Never quit.

The first time you quit its hard. The second time it gets easier. The third time you dont even have to think about it.

Theres no substitute for guts.

The first time you quit, it's hard. The second time, it gets easier. The third time, you don't even have to think about it.

Set goals - high goals for you and your organization. When your organization has a goal to shoot for, you create teamwork, people working for a common good.

In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity; every player must put the team first-ahead of personal glory.

In my experience of these things, parties which shout about dirty tricks and the like tend to do so because they fear a direct hit in some vulnerable part of their political anatomy.

I love nerds. Comic-Con junkies are the tastemakers of tomorrow. Isn't that funny? The tables have turned.

Don't ever take a dramatic lesson. They will try to put your voice in a dinner jacket, and people like their hominy and grits in everyday clothes.

Enlightenment is the key to everything, and it is the key to intimacy, because it is the goal of true authenticity.

I love rom-coms. Any will do. Films such as 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' or 'Funny Face' with Audrey Hepburn.

A savage review is much more entertaining for the reader than an admiring one; the little misanthrope in each of us relishes the rubbishing of someone else.

I hold doors open for all the women. Men can open the doors for themselves.

Tristan and Isolde were lucky to die when they did. They'd have been sick of all that rubbish in a year.

A book reaches a different crowd of people. There are 50 different stories of very different individuals participating in their communities either locally or nationally in meaningful ways.

Freedom means the freedom to behave coarsely, basely, foolishly.

These guys are just flying through the air and I'm capturing them in the split second and putting it into a work of art, via clay to the bronze.

Most people are full of themselves and speak only the obnoxiously superficial, in other words they're annoying as hell.

The German future lies in the hands of our Fuehrer.

People are afraid of everything.

I am a sweet old softy, but it took toughness to get through what I went through.

I don't fancy colors of the face, I'm always attracted to colors of the brain.

I guess I was a mom so late in life, my daughter was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I can relax with bums because I am a bum. I don't like laws, morals, religions, rules. I don't like to be shaped by society.

All of my records have been very personal, just writing more and more songs, you get better at being able to say what you feel.

Think of bicycles as rideable art that can just about save the world.

I am thinking about chess in schools in particular. In the USA more than 3200 children competed in an event.

You win a race, the next race it's a question mark. Are you still the best or not? That's what is funny. But that's what is interesting. And that's what is challenging. You have to prove yourself every time.

It is better to be honourable than be honoured.
