More quotes by Lou Holtz
Build your empire on the firm foundation of the fundamentals.
Lou Holtz

Lou Holtz
It's good to be successful but it's great to be significant
Lou Holtz
Coaching is about helping young people have a chance to succeed. There is no more awesome responsibility than that. One of the greatest honors a person can have is being called 'Coach.'
Lou Holtz
God answers prayers, but he doesn't always answer it your way.

In adversity, there is opportunity. Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity. I've never known anybody to achieve anything without overcoming adversity. Adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. I never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger.
Lou Holtz

Lou Holtz
I think that we have opportunities all around us - sometimes we just don't recognize them.
Lou Holtz
No matter how bad someone has it, there are others who have it worse. Remembering that makes life a lot easier and allows you to take pleasure in the blessings you have been given.
Lou Holtz

Lou Holtz
My wife doesn't even want to spend 2 hours with me.
Lou Holtz
Winners and losers aren't born, they are the products of how they think
Lou Holtz
I do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it's not always in the way you expect. God knows what's best for us, though, so there's no need to worry when things don't go how we originally wanted them to go.
Lou Holtz
Don't ever promise more than you can deliver, but always deliver more than you promise.
Lou Holtz
I was raised in a religious environment, and my wife is one of the more religious people that I have ever known.
Lou Holtz
To win a national championship, you've got to be a little lucky.
Lou Holtz
A lifetime contract for a coach means if you're ahead in the third quarter and moving the ball, they can't fire you.
Lou Holtz
When people need love and understanding and support the most is when they deserve it the least.
Lou Holtz
The standards you establish for others must reflect the standards you set for yourself. No one will follow a hypocrite.
Lou Holtz
