More quotes by Bill Parcells
I have always felt like you really don't have a genuine confidence unless you demonstrate the ability to do something. You can talk about it, but you have to demonstrate it.
Bill Parcells
You ask yourself, 'What do you want your legacy to be?' I'm content at this point to say, 'Those who follow me.' Romeo Crennel, Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, to name a few. I think I've got a pretty good group, so far.

In the end, I've found, people like the direct approach. It's much more valuable to them to have a leader who's absolutely clear and open than to have one who soft-soaps or talks in circles.

Bill Parcells
When you don't know that you don't know, it's a lot different than when you do know that you don't know.
Bill Parcells
You can't dream up confidence. Confidence is born of demonstrated ability.
Bill Parcells
If you got anything to you at all as an athlete and a competitor, you don't care what the circumstances are. You still got competition.
Bill Parcells
All the backs in the history of this game are the same when there isn't any hole to run through.
Bill Parcells
Anybody who watched football last year knows they're good. But that represents a very good opportunity for us. It really does. I think somehow, if we're able to pull that off, I think it will go a long way for our confidence. I look at it as a great opportunity, and hopefully we'll be at our best when we get there.
Bill Parcells
Creatures of similar plumages habitually congregate in places of closest proximity.
Bill Parcells
Confidence is only born out of one thing demonstrated ability. It is not born of anything else. You cannot dream up confidence. You cannot fabricate it. You cannot wish it. You have to accomplish it.
