More Quotes by Bear Bryant

We better teach these lessons or else the country's future population will be made up of a majority of crooks, drug addicts, or people on relief.
Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.
It's not the will to win that matters-everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters.
