I ain't never been nothin but a winner.
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
Image
If wanting to win is a fault, as some of my critics seem to insist, then I plead guilty. I like to win. I know no other way. It's in my blood.
Bear Bryant
Image
Back 12 years ago, when Dr. Mathews was president here, we had a plan that when I got ready to quit, we'd bring a certain guy in and he'd take over that day and I'd leave. But as time wore on, I realized that wouldn't have been good at all.
Bear Bryant
Image
Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don't forget them when they leave.
Bear Bryant
Image
Don't talk too much. Don't pop off. Don't talk after the game until you cool off.
Bear Bryant
Image
They say I teach brutal football, but the only thing brutal about football is losing.
Bear Bryant
Image
When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
Bear Bryant
Image
If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.
