Lou Holtz Motivational Quotes

It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.

When all is said and done, more is said than done.

You'll never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him.

You're never as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you're never as bad as they say when you lose.

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

Your talent determines what you can do. Your motivation determines how much you are willing to do. Your attitude determines how well you do it.

Ability is what you are capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

Can I Trust You? Years ago, I heard Lou Holtz speak at a national conference. His rock-solid reputation preceded him—he is the only coach in the history of college football to take six different football teams to a bowl game. He is not only well-respected for his ability to elevate football programs, but to elevate individuals as well. During his humorous and entertaining keynote, he taught a few small lessons which carried big meanings. He shared that every person you meet is privately asking themselves three questions: 1. Do you care about me? 2. Do I like you? 3. Can I trust you? When you make an authentic, sincere, and dignified effort to create a positive first impression, you increase your chances of receiving a "Yes!" to those questions. Unfortunately, if someone you meet answers "No!" you’ve got an uphill battle to earn their business or develop a friendship.

What you are capable of achieving is determined by your talent and ability. What you attempt to do is determined by your motivation. How well you do something is determined by your attitude.
