Athlete Quotes - This week: Coach Lou Holtz


 

Coach Lou Holtz has one of the most imitated voices in sports. People love to poke fun at his raspy, lispy tone. Obviously Coach Holtz did not rise to success based on his linguistic articulation, but in his own way he did share some very wise words.

Here are this Examiner’s top ten Lou Holtz quotes:

Number Ten
When all is said and done, more is said than done.

Number Nine
Don't be a spectator; don't let life pass you by.

Number Eight
You're never as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you're never as bad as they say when you lose.

Number Seven
No one has ever drowned in sweat.

Number Six
You'll never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him.

Number Five
If you burn your neighbors house down, it doesn't make your house look any better.

Number Four
Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

Number Three
I can't believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.

Number Two
Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated.

Number One
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
