10 Bits of Advice for College Students from Paul "Bear" Bryant

Here are 10 of Paul "Bear" Bryant's quotes to help college students succeed:

1. Destiny is not a matter of chance; but a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for. It is a thing to be achieved.
2. Success is the ability to outrun failure.
3. If you believe in yourself, have dedication and pride and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high, but so are the rewards.
4. First there are those who are winners, and know they are winners. Then there are the losers who know they are losers. Then there are those who are not winners, but don't know it. They're the ones for me. They never quit trying. They're the soul of our game.
5. Little things make the difference. Everyone is well prepared in the big things, but only the winners perfect the little things.
6. When you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: admit it, learn from it, and don’t repeat it.
7. In life, you'll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it.
8. Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself.
9. Losing doesn’t make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.
10. Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit.
