Memorable quotes from Dick Farley, the former Williams coach who will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 12:

* On Division III football: “There is no Division IV. If you can’t play here, you can’t play anywhere.”

*

* Opening comments in the first team meeting: “I have two rules. Don’t be late, and don’t be a jerk.”

*

* On the Williams student-athletes: “It took me about five years here to realize that every one of these kids is a hell of a lot smarter than I am. So I just have to make sure I don’t confuse them with coaching.”

*

* After a player’s mental mistake: “Which one of the professionals in the admissions office is running around bragging about letting you in?”

*

* On a slow-footed safety: “In a race with a pregnant woman, he finishes third.”

*

* Before letting the players go after a game: “Nothing good ever happens after midnight.”

*

* On the importance of winning: “You will learn more about yourself by losing this game than if you had won.”

*

* On the Ephs’ winning streak against their archrivals: “We’re going to lose to Amherst someday. I think you’ll find the next day that all of the buildings will still be here, and this will still be one of America’s finest colleges.”
