He who gets the best players usually wins.

If somebody mistreats you, treat 'em good. That kills 'em.

To have the kind of year you want to have, something has to happen that you can't explain why it happened. Something has to happen that you can't coach.

He doesn't know the meaning of the word fear, but then again he doesn't know the meaning of most words.

A better ending could not have been scripted. Of course, if we had won, that would have been better.

Don't go to the grave with life unused.

I guess I'll retire someday if I live that long.

A guy's who has all the money he needs and never faced any hard times, he won't have any character. But when you've had it tough and you've had it rough and you thought you were at the end of the rope and you work your way out of it, that's the way you build character.

All my life, I've been right next to a football field. I never knew nothing else.

Even though I retired from coaching, I still believe that is my calling.

Faith is the most important thing in the world to me. It's the greatest strength I've had. It's helped me get through the hard times. You're not going to win every one of your football games. I've always said I'm not going to make football my god. A lot of coaches put so much into coaching football games that they have nothing left.

Football has always been a big part of my life. Almost from the day I was born, playing and coaching football were all I really ever wanted to do.

I really believe God called on me to coach, and that is the reason I stayed in it for so long.

I was always going to church with my mom, dad and sister. I was literally raised under the godly influence both at home and church. There was no alcohol and no smoking at our house. That was the way a Bowden was supposed to live. My dad always told me to represent the Bowden name in a respectful manner.

I won't miss coaching. What you miss is that camaraderie with those boys and the other coaches. You miss that.

I've never made football my priority. My priorities are my faith and my dependence on God.

People that are brilliant and successful, we think they've just always been that way. That's not the case. Most of them have had some tough adversity in their life. It's prepared them. I've never felt like you could develop character without adversity.

The Bible is big in my teaching. It's a wonder the ACLU didn't get after me pretty good. I really kept thinking they would. I took my boys to church. I took my football team to church. I only did it two times a year. Before I signed a kid, I'd write the parents and I'd tell that parent we were gong to take your son to church twice.

The thing that drives most coaches out of coaching in college is they get tired of the grind of recruiting.

There's a saying in my business that there are two kinds of coaches - those who have been fired and those who haven't been fired yet. That's kind of like prostate cancer. Every man will have it if he lives long enough.

You can live by biblical principles, and you can teach by those principles and still be a winner. So many coaches think you've got to kick your players in the rear end. You've got to cuss them out. You've got to hit them across the head. No. You don't have to do that.

Theres a saying in my business that there are two kinds of coaches those who have been fired and those who havent been fired yet. Thats kind of like prostate cancer. Every man will have it if he lives long enough.

Actually, I think my view is compatible with much of the work going on now in neuroscience and psychology, where people are studying the relationship of consciousness to neural and cognitive processes without really trying to reduce it to those processes.

I love the people of Israel. I love the land of Israel. I love the Torah of Israel. I love the Israel Defense Forces. I love our soldiers. If you feel the same way I do, you have a home.

Conservatism is rooted in preservation; progressivism advances alteration. These are different love languages. These languages turn on your view of change itself: When you think of America, do you see a country struggling to be maintained or one striving to be made better?

I love my father. I disagreed with him. But he was my father. He was the boss.

While actors are great and awesome, writers literally create new worlds from scratch. What is sexier than that? Personally, I don't know why every last person out there isn't dating a writer.

I don't like age barriers. I don't like when people treat you differently when they find out how old you are.

The Catholics will never like me because of my divorces.

Writing is work. It takes a lot of contemplation, concentration, and out-and-out sweat. People tend to romanticize it, that somehow your work appears by benefit of some mystical external force. In reality, to be a writer, you have to sit down and write. It's work, and often it's hard work.

My mother was loved by so many people, famous and not so famous.

I know that my foot is firmly wedged in the door, and I'll be damned if I pull it out, even for a second.

Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy - in fact, they are almost incompatible; one emotion hardly leaves room for the other.

New media's not very old, hence the word new, so we don't know a lot of things about new media and by the time you've taught it it's probably out of date. I think it's much more beneficial to have an experiential lesson versus a classroom lesson in new media.

When life hits you pretty hard, you can go into a dark corner.

As the member of a firefighter family myself supporting the widowed families of rescue workers is an important personal cause of mine.

Men turn to formal wear when they want a new job or when they think their current one is in danger. They try to present themselves as powerful and successful.

I never hated a man enough to give him his diamonds back.

Maternity is a matter of fact, paternity is a matter of opinion.

A sense of humor is just common sense dancing.

We are all responsible to Jesus first, and then, under him, to various other persons and offices. Discerning the path of love and obedience when two or more of these submissive relationships collide is a call to humble, Bible-saturated, spiritual wisdom.

To sum it all up, I must say that I regret nothing.

When I started Dylan's Candy Bar in 2001, I wanted it to be a place that merged my love of pop culture, fashion, art and music with candy. Since then, we have been fortunate to pioneer artistic partnerships with many legends.

Making sushi is an art, and experience is everything.

Nihilism is but the other side of conventionalism; its creed consists of negations of the current so-called positive values, to which it remains bound.

Fashion is part of our culture, and it's about more than just a pretty dress.
