More quotes by Bear Bryant
I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.

Bear Bryant
You win games with your strengths, not your weaknesses.
Bear Bryant
There's no substitute for guts.
Bear Bryant
I'm no innovator. If anything I'm a stealer, or borrower. I've stolen or borrowed from more people than you can shake a stick at.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.
Bear Bryant
