“There are three things that can happen when you throw a pass, and two of them are bad.”
This quote is often attributed to Hayes, but some contend General Robert Neyland of the University of Tennessee or Darrell Royal of the University of Texas was the source. Darrell Royal gives the credit to Woody Hayes as being the source of the quote.

“When you hear music, after it's over, it's gone in the air. You can never capture it again.”
Said to an audience, as quoted in John Steinbeck Holiday, Vol. 58 (1977), p. 13

Context: Call it… joy. The thing like pleasure that you feel when you've done a good thing or passed up a real tempting chance to do a bad thing. Or when the unfolding of the universe just seems especially apt. It's nowhere near as flashy and intense as pleasure can be. Believe me! But it's got something going for it. Something that can make you do without pleasure, or even accept a lot of pain, to get it.

“Military justice is to justice what military music is to music.”
