I do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it's not always in the way you expect. God knows what's best for us, though, so there's no need to worry when things don't go how we originally wanted them to go.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
Had I been a great athlete, I'm not sure I would have even gone into coaching. I may have turned out feeling that my life ended when my athletic career ended, as happens so many times with various athletes.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
The Sisters of Notre Dame at St. Aloysius Grade School influenced my life tremendously. This was due to the fact that they encouraged you always to make sure that God is the focus of your life, and they didn't allow you to do anything except to the very best of your ability.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
Don't run if you can walk. Don't walk if you can stand. Don't stand if you can sit. Don't sit if you can lie down.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
We have an obligation to help people that cannot help themselves. The mentally retarded, the physically retarded, et cetera.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
I believe - we all pay taxes. I'm happy to pay it, but I hate to have it abused, money wasted, no accountability. That's going to bother you.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
My wife told me if there is any rumors about me, it better be about politics and not about my social life.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
An agent won't help you get drafted higher, won't make you win more games, and won't make you faster or stronger.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
Nothing on this earth is standing still. It's either growing or it's dying. No matter if it's a tree or a human being.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely. Golf really is the best microcosm of life - or at least the way life should be.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961. The pay wasn't much, so to get $300 more per year, I agreed to coach the golf team. I didn't even know how to keep score, and really, my main job was not to wreck the van on the way to tournaments.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
At home I have a copy of the April 21, 1986, issue of 'Sports Illustrated.' I'm on the cover with the blurb, 'Can Lou Do It?' I'd just arrived at Notre Dame, and with spring football underway, I was the focal point of that week's coverage.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
We can all be successful and make money, but when we die, that ends. But when you are significant is when you help other people be successful. That lasts many a lifetime.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
As a coach, one thing that used to frustrate me was one player would make a bad decision, and that's all you would read about in the papers all over the country. We have so many athletes do so many wonderful things for other people, and you never read about it.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
If you made me the national commissioner of football, I'd tell you one thing that I would mandate. The second Saturday in September, we're going to have conference day. Everybody from the SEC plays a Big 12 team. Everybody from the Big Ten is going to play the ACC. Everybody from the Big East is going to play the Pac-10.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
I follow three rules: Do the right thing, do the best you can, and always show people you care.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
I think life is a matter of choices and that wherever we are, good or bad, is because of choices we make.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
Everyone goes through adversity in life, but what matters is how you learn from it.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
Successful people will always tell you you can do something. It's the people who have never accomplished anything who will always discourage you from trying to achieve excellent things.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
I was raised a Catholic on both sides of the family. I went to a Catholic grade school and thought everybody in the country was Catholic, because that's all I ever was associated with.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
I feel that God wants me to coach; otherwise, he wouldn't have put the desire in me.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
When I left the University of Notre Dame, I honestly felt I would never coach again.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
I have no desire at all to become the winningest coach at Notre Dame. The record belongs to Knute Rockne or some other coach in the future.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
I'm an old man, and all my life I've said that Notre Dame should remain independent because it's a national school.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
Virtually nothing is impossible in this world if you just put your mind to it and maintain a positive attitude.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
We were at a beach one summer, and I had a bathing suit on. My wife looked at me and said: 'Boy, you are skinny, aren't you?' I said: 'Honey, I'd like to remind you that it was minor defects like this that kept me from getting a better wife.'
Quote by -Lou Holtz
All my life, I've been trying to make a hole-in-one. The closest I've come is a bogey.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
When the bank asks me about my assets, I include my friendship with Regis Philbin.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
The University of Notre Dame does not redshirt, and I endorse that policy completely. I am very much in favor of redshirting, but not at Notre Dame. But there's no doubt about it. It puts us at a huge disadvantage.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
I don't think there's been anything in the game of football in my lifetime that has changed college football more than redshirting.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
I've followed Notre Dame football since 1946, when I listened on the radio and Johnny Lujack tackled Doc Blanchard in the open field to preserve a 0-0 tie.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
I'm proud to be part of the Dr. Pepper Scholarship Giveaway. It's a great program that gives me the chance to brighten the day for some lucky college students with free tuition.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
Sacrifice, discipline and prayer are essential. We gain strength through God's word. We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin - and it's gonna happen - confession puts us back on the field.
