Pay it Forward

On March 14, 1986, just less than a year before his death, Woody Hayes delivered the commencement address at Ohio State. These excerpts were published in Woody Hayes: A Reflection by Paul Hornung.

...Today is the greatest day of my life. I would like to start out with something that I use in almost every speech, and that is the idea of paying forward.

Paying forward - that is the thing that you folks with your great education from here can do for the rest of your lives.

Take that attitude toward life, because so seldom can we pay back - those whom you owe - your parents and other people - will be gone.Emerson had something to say about that.

He said you can pay back only seldom. But you can always pay forward, and you must pay line for line, deed for deed, and cent for cent. He said beware of too much good accumulating in your palm or it will fast corrupt.
