More quotes by Knute Rockne
All the world loves a winner and has no time for a loser.
Knute Rockne
No star playing, just football.
Knute Rockne
At home we're the hosts, and I never liked the idea of being embarrassed in front of our friends.
Knute Rockne
Show me a gracious loser and I'll show you a failure.
Knute Rockne
I have to get the most energy out of a man and have discovered that it cannot be done if he hates another man. Hate blocks his energy and he isn't up to par until he eliminates it and develops a friendly feeling...(towards all his teammates.)
Knute Rockne
There is no need for me continuing unless I'm able to improve.
Knute Rockne
One loss is good for the soul, Too many losses is not good for the coach.

The morning we left South Bend, every student and professor was out of bed long before breakfast and marched downtown accompanying the team to the railroad station. It was the first time I'd seen anything like this mass hysteria generated on the Notre Dame campus over a football game.
Knute Rockne
You know, I've been attending so many banquets that I know what they're going to serve before I get there.
Knute Rockne
Win or lose, do it fairly.
Knute Rockne
Winning to often is as disastrous as losing too often. Both get the same results, the falling off of the public's enthusiasm.
Knute Rockne
If winning isn't everything why bother to keep the score?
Knute Rockne
If the coach insists upon hard play, but clean play, the team will do likewise.
Knute Rockne
Drink the first. Sip the second slowly. Skip the third.
Knute Rockne
The best thing I ever learned in life was that things have to be worked for. A lot of people seem to think there is some sort of magic in making a winning football team. There isn't, but there's plenty of work.
Knute Rockne
Leaders are like eagles... they don't flock. You'll find them one at a time.
Knute Rockne
On the road we're somebody else's guests - and we play in a way that they're not going to forget we visited them.
Knute Rockne
Never tell 'em how many lettermen you've got coming back. Tell 'em how many you lost.
Knute Rockne
The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team. As a coach, I play not my eleven best, but my best eleven.
Knute Rockne
Four years of football are calculated to breed in the average man more of the ingredients of success in life than almost any academic course he takes.
