Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
There's no substitute for guts.
Bear Bryant
In life, you'll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it.

Bear Bryant
