Bear Bryant
There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.

Bear Bryant
My approach to the game has been the same at all the places I've been. Vanilla. The sure way. That means, first of all, to win physically. If you got eleven on a field, and they beat the other eleven physically, they'll win. They will start forcing mistakes. They'll win in the fourth quarter.
Bear Bryant
Sure, I'd love to beat Notre Dame, don't get me wrong. But nothing matters more than beating that cow college on the other side of the state!
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.
Bear Bryant
I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games.
Bear Bryant
