Bill Willis on Progress

I'm proud of the role I played, but it was a very small part. I'm appreciative of the people who permitted me to play that role. I still get nice, thoughtful letters, saying that I had a part in how the entire fabric of professional football - management, players, everything - has moved ahead.

Woody Hayes on Paying Forward

Wars always bring bigger problems then they settle. We can't have that. It's up to us to have such a good democracy that other people want it too. That's a job that will be in your future. Hard work, tough decisions, teamwork, family values, and paying ahead will help to change this world and make it a better place, And I have no idea but that you have the attitude and the capacity and the ability here to go on and help make this a greater world.
