Vince Lombardi

“It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner... What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.”

“Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.”

“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”

“It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.”

“The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”

“The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.”

“Individual commitment to a group effort -- that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.”

“The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.”

“I firmly believe that any man's finest hour...is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.”

“Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.”

“The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.”

“Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence.”

“The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.”

“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.”

“Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.”

“Fatigue makes cowards of us all.”

“Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.”

“If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.”
