We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time.
— Vince Lombardi
We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
Winners never quit and quitters never win.
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
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.
The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. That's the essence of it.
Mental toughness is spartanism with qualities of sacrifice, self-denial, dedication. It is fearlessness, and it is love.
Battles are won in the hearts of men.
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.
Character is just another word for having a perfectly disciplined and educated will. A person can make his own character by blending these elements with an intense desire to achieve excellence. Everyone is different in what I will call magnitude, but the capacity to achieve character is still the same.
If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?
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.
