Famous Notre Dame Quotes

November 9, 2015 by TrueFan ALL NOTRE DAME, LEGEND & LORE, TRUE FAN CENTER
Lou Holtz, Famous Fighting Irish Football Coach, Quotes -All winning teams are goal-oriented. Teams like these win consistently because everyone connected with them concentrates on specific objectives. They go about their business with blinders on; nothing will distract them from achieving their aims. –Lou Holtz, former Notre Dame football coach

 

Theodore M. Hesburgh, President, Notre Dame, Quote
“I can think of no better way of redeeming this tragic world today than love and laughter. Too many of the young have forgotten how to laugh, and too many of the elders have forgotten how to love. Would not our lives be lightened if only we could all learn to laugh more easily at ourselves and to love one another?”
— Theodore M. Hesburgh, President, Notre Dame”My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular; you make them because *they’re right*.”
— Theodore M. Hesburgh, President, Notre Dame”The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can’t blow an uncertain trumpet.”
— Theodore M. Hesburgh, President, Notre Dame “Anyone who refuses to speak out off campus does not deserve to be listened to on campus.”
— Theodore M. Hesburgh, President, Notre Dame”The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.”
— Theodore M. Hesburgh, President, Notre Dame
Except from Knute Rockne Official page
BORN: March 4, 1888, Voss, Norway
DIED: March 31, 1931, Bazaar, Kansas
POSITION: Head Coach: Notre Dame Football (1918-1931)Knute Kenneth Rockne, born March 4, 1888, was a winner as a football player and a coach. But it was not until the 1920s when he became permanently etched on the national imagination. As the head coach of the Fighting Irish from 1918 to 1930, he set the greatest all-time winning percentage of .881. This mark still ranks at the top of the list for both college and professional football. During those 13 years as head coach, he collected 105 victories, 12 losses, five ties and six national championships. Knute also coached Notre Dame to five undefeated seasons without a tie. Knute was known as one of the most innovative and charismatic coaches of his era. He was the first football coach to initiate intersectional rivalries and build a national schedule. Knute is well known for coaching the most dazzling, dramatic, idolized athlete of all time, George “Gipper” Gipp. This man’s running, passing, kicking and generalship lifted Notre Dame to fame. George Gipp became Notre Dame’s first All-American and the famous subject of Rockne’s motivating pre-game speech, “Win one for the Gipper.” Knute Rockne Wikipedia
More Knute Rockney Quotes

  • One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than a hundred teaching it.
  • Build up your weaknesses until they become your strong points.
  • Football is a game played with arms, legs and shoulders but mostly from the neck up.
    Show me a good and gracious loser and I’ll show you a failure.
  • The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team. As a coach, I play not my eleven best, but my best eleven.
  • On the road we’re somebody else’s guests – and we play in a way that they’re not going to forget we visited them.
  • Drink the first. Sip the second slowly. Skip the third.
  • At home we’re the hosts, and I never liked the idea of being embarrased in front of our friends.
 

  • The only football players in my time were fellows who really loved to play football. They were not in it for the money. There wasn’t much money there. They would have played football for nothing.
    Red Grange
  • A professional player is smarter than a college man. He uses his noodle. He knows what to do and when to do it. He rarely goes up in the air as is the case with most of our college players when they get in a tight place.
    Red Grange
  • No one ever taught me and I can’t teach anyone. If you can’t explain it, how can you take credit for it?
    Red Grange
  • I don’t care how complicated they make the game seem, it’s really based on two principles and those are blocking and tackling.
    Red Grange
  • I haven’t seen a new football play since I was in high school. You have just so many holes in a line and you have eleven men playing, and there’s only so many ways you can go through those holes, and those ways have been used for forty, fifty years.
    Red Grange

Keeping It Real

The Notre-Dame-Store.com is an Affiliate Partner for leading providers of officially-licensed sportswear. We take a lot of time finding the best gear and we're pretty picky. We look at multiple stores to find the products we'd like to buy. So you get a one-stop shop of hand-picked stuff. To help us keep going, we may earn a commission if you decide to purchase using our product links. Affiliate links are very common, but you aren't always notified. Sneaky web marketing is not cool.

We want your experience at Notre-Dame-Store.com to be great! You can always clear your browser and search the web or the merchant without our help. No worries.

Oh, and we are not legally associated with the University of Notre Dame. That's important! We just love the Fighting Irish spirit and traditions; and our site's been around since the wee days of the web. So in case you were looking for something else - here's the link to the on-campus bookstore. The University of Notre Dame site is quite impressive and filled with great content. You can't miss The Official Athletic Site of Notre Dame which is equally feature rich and awesome.
