More quotes by Woody Hayes
I've had smarter people around me all my life, but I haven't run into one yet that can outwork me. And if they can't outwork you, then smarts aren't going to do them much good.
Woody Hayes

Woody Hayes
Nothing that comes easy in this world is worth a damn.
Woody Hayes
You don't get many chances to pay back what's been done for you. Take them.
Woody Hayes
Perfect preparation prevents piss-poor performance.
Woody Hayes
You can never really pay back. You can only pay forward.
Woody Hayes
The bowl games are only supposed to be a fun reward.
