The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny.
James Allen

Remember that the only time you really lose is when you're not giving it 100 percent.

A horse never runs so fast as when he has other horses to catch up and outpace.

You only pass through this life once; you don't come back for an encore.

The image is one thing and the human being is another. It's very hard to live up to an image.
Elvis Presley

When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: 'Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend -- without a song.' So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.
Elvis Presley

Certainly, the most memorable game to me was the Duke game in St.Louis when we won the championship. That one will always have a warm spot in my heart. Not necessarily because it was the best game we played but because it was the most important in my career while I was at Kentucky. Joe B. Hall

Coach Paul Bear Bryant

There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.

Paul Bear Bryant

Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit.

Paul Bear Bryant


If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit - you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.

Remember the words of Chairman Mao:'It's always darkest before it's totally black.'

John McCain

Our political differences, no matter how sharply they are debated, are really quite narrow in comparison to the remarkably durable national consensus on our founding convictions.

War is wretched beyond description, and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality.

Coach Paul Bryant

"Mama wanted me to be a preacher. I told her coachin' and preachin' were a lot alike."
Bear Bryant

"The old lessons (work, self-discipline, sacrifice, teamwork, fighting to achieve) aren't being taught by many people other than football coaches these days. The football coach has a captive audience and can teach these lessons because the
communication lines between himself and his players are more wide open than between kids and parents. 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."

Bear Bryant

"I have tried to teach them to show class, to have pride, and to display character. I think football, winning games, takes care of itself if you do that."

Bear Bryant

Coach Adolph Rupp

"He who controlleth the backboard, controlleth the game."
Adolph Rupp

"Your defense will save you on the nights that your offense isn't working."
Adolph Rupp

"I believe that good defense embodies seven cardinal principle:
reduce the number of your opponent's shots;
force your opponent into low percentage shots;
control everything within 18 feet;
eliminate second shots; no easy baskets;
point the ball on all long shots;
and prevent the ball from going into the pivot man."

"If Kentucky ever had a player in whom the fires of competitive zeal burned with a greater roar than in Ralph Beard, his name is a secret." - Dave Kindred

"If the school had put a million dollars in my pocket, it wouldn't have meant more to me than that recognition." (Joe B. Hall on the retirement of his jersey at Rupp Arena, 2/10/1990)

"The scandal broke Oct.20, 1951, and I haven't ever forgotten it, and I won't ever forget it until they hit me in the face with that first spade full of dirt."
