Lou Holtz, what a guy. Not only is he one of the most admired coaches of the last century, but he's also one of the most inspirational people on the planet. Wherever Lou goes and whatever he says, you're sure to get the feels. Here's a list of the best Lou Holtz quotes that everyone needs to hear for a little pick-me-up:

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

2. "I think we have opportunities all around us- sometimes we just don't recognize them."

3. "Successful people will always tell you you can do something. It's the people who have never accomplished anything who will always discourage you from trying to achieve excellent things."

4. "Motivation is simple. you eliminate those who are not motivated."

5. "The problem with having a sense of humor is often that people you use it on aren't in a very good mood."

6. "No matter what happens on the field, getting an education makes you a winner."

And the all-time best….

7. "You don't go to Notre Dame to learn something; you go to Notre Dame to be somebody."
