First team meeting as Packers coach (1959), reported in Chuck Carlson, Game of My Life: 25 Stories of Packers Football (2004), p. 149; Richard Scott, Jay Barker, Legends of Alabama Football (2004), p. 78.

“Perhaps it's chasing me. But I don't think it will ever catch me because I am moving fast.”
“Strive for excellence, not perfection, because we don't live in a perfect world.”
