What I learned from that loss, and also another loss that I'm going to talk about later, was that when you're there, it's not good enough to be there, when you're there, you better walk away with that ring.

The one thing that I know is that you win with good people.

And this year is going to be the 25th anniversary of the 17-0 team, the only undefeated season.

You know it's only 50 miles from Grand River to Canton, but it took me 67 years to travel that distance.

Because, they're only thinking about one team when that game's over. Before the game, they're talking about two football teams. When the game's over, there's only one winner.

And my rookie contract, my first rookie contract was for $5,000.

One thing I never want to be accused of is not working.

What I learned from that loss, and also another loss that I'm going to talk about later, was that when you're there, it's not good enough to be there, when you're there, you better walk away with that ring.

And then to end up with a total of 347 wins, averaging 10 regular season wins for 33 years and the best winning percentage, and I'm very proud of this, of any professional team from 1970 to 1996.

I don't know any other way to lead but by example.

Peyton Manning is doing things that I think no other quarterback in the history of the league has done at the line of scrimmage... I just think they are a team right now that's got a real chance to run the table.

The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others.

I don't want a player that's content with not playing... But we wanted to play the guys that got us here.

Success is not forever and failure isn't fatal.

I think what coaching is all about, is taking players and analyzing there ability, put them in a position where they can excel within the framework of the team winning. And I hope that I've done that in my 33 years as a head coach.

And I coached against Mike when he was an assistant with the Bears and they won that football game.

Sure, luck means a lot in football. Not having a good quarterback is bad luck.

I coached against Dave the last couple of years, and I was very proud to be the first time a father ever coached against his son. He beat me for 30 minutes the first time and 59 and a half minutes the second time.

He wants to be his own man and be recognized for what he's done. He's not asking for anything because of his name. That was a tough situation to go into at Alabama, but he probably wouldn't have been given the job if the situation would have been different.

Anybody that's a Dolphins fan feels they're headed in the right direction.

I can't control the criticism. It's something you certainly don't appreciate, but by the same token, everybody is entitled to their opinion.

I can't remember missing a practice because of illness.

I never felt I knew it all. I always felt there's something new to learn, something new to do.

Losing a Super Bowl destroys all the good things that happened to get you there.

The thing we found out was, when you get to a Super Bowl, both teams are treated the same, talked about in glowing terms. But when the game is over, only the team that won matters.

When you're 0-2 in the Super Bowl, they say unkind things about you. They say, 'He can't win the big one.' And that's the worst thing that can be said about you.

You take on what's right in front of you. You want to do the best you can with the opportunities that you have.

As a coach, your high standards of performance, attention to detail and - above all - how hard you work set the stage for how your players perform.

As a coach your high standards of performance attention to detail and above all how hard you work set the stage for how your players perform.

My coaching philosophy Determine your players talents and give them every weapon to get the most from those talents.

The whole idea is to get an edge. Sometimes it takes just a little extra something to get that edge but you have to have it.

The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others.

There's nothing wrong with setting goals, but it doesn't mean a thing if you don't pay attention to the day-to-day details.

The problem with most leaders today is they don't stand for anything. Leadership implies movement toward something, and convictions provide that direction. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything

My biggest loss was the Olympics. I just can't forget losing. I never will.

Our loss was very heavy, especially in the officers. Capt. Sale, of Co. E, Duke's regt, was among the killed, making the third Capt. that has been killed in that company.

Who has suffered? The families of the dead, no doubt. But a greater loss was inflicted on Pakistan because, as I said, we lost the pillars of our society.

No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting. She will not want new fashions nor regret the loss of expensive diversions or variety of company if she can be amused with an author in her closet.

I am pleased to see that information campaigns, such as the America's WETLAND effort, are getting the message out, and people are beginning to realize that wetlands loss in Louisiana affects us all.

I think loss of loved ones is the hardest blow in life.

I was going to buy a book on hair loss, but the pages kept falling out.

Teenagers too often have to deal with loss and death. You had to cope with the untimely death of your brother; how can young people deal with such tragedies?

When a role for a young guy is being offered to me, I think of River Phoenix. It feels like a loss.

Accept loss forever.

Through years of secret work, scientific and basic ground work was laid, in order to be ready again to work the German Armed Forces at the appointed hour, without loss of time or experience.

I mean, I don't want to sound - of course it's very nice, people come up and say appreciative things about my work. But the loss, in terms of privacy and anonymity, is no small thing to me.

As a life's work, I would remember everything - everything, against loss. I would go through life like a plankton net.

At a family's most difficult time, I want to make sure at a minimum that they have the very basic of comforts: the ability to grieve their loss privately and the knowledge that their country is grateful for their loved one's sacrifice and service.

My book 'Trust Your Heart', which is the story of my life, will be followed by 'Singing Lessons', a memoir of love, loss, hope, and healing, which talks about the death of my son and the hope that has been the aftermath of the healing from that tragedy.
