More quotes by Woody Hayes

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
The minute I think I'm getting mellow, I'm retiring. Who ever heard of a mellow winner?
Woody Hayes
We control by attitudes-positive mental attitudes-not by rules.
