Rudy (film)

"Son, in 35 years of religious study, I have only come up with two hard, incontrovertible facts: there is a God, and...I am not Him."

"Well, you know what my dad always said, Having dreams is what makes life tolerable."

"Let me tell it to you as clean as I can. We have 95 players here so accomplished as athletes in high school, we gave them full scholarships to the best football program in the country. NCAA regulations allow us to dress just 60 for home games. Which means at least 35 scholarship players are gonna be watching the games from the stands. So, if any of you has any fantasies about running out of that stadium tunnel with your gold helmet shining in the sun, you'd best leave them right here. Of you 15 dreamers out there, maybe we'll keep one or two. My job is to basically beat the shit out of you for the next five days. Our first teams are gonna pound on you like you're their worst enemies. Your greatest value to us is, we don't care whether you get hurt. Like what you hear so far? Anybody want to run home to Mama? Joe, they're all yours."

"When people say dreams don't come true, tell them about Rudy."

"Sometimes a winner is a dreamer who just won't quit."

"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, It's the size of the fight in the dog...."
