Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.
Live as if you were living already for the second time.
Football is a great deal like life in that it teaches that work, sacrifice, perseverance, competitive drive, selflessness, and respect for authority are the price each and every one of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
If you are five minutes early, you are already ten minutes late.
If you cheat yourself in practice, you'll cheat yourself in a game; and if you cheat in a game, you'll cheat yourself for the rest of your life.
The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. That's the essence of it.
Coaches who can outline plays on a black board are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.
Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it.
Success is not a sometimes thing. In other words, you don't do what is right once in awhile, but all the time. Success is a habit. Winning is a habit.
Leaders are not born, they're made.
There are three things important to every man in this locker room. His God, his family, and the Green Bay Packers. In that order.
We know how rough the road will be, how heavy here the load will be, we know about the barricades that wait along the track, but we have set our soul ahead upon a certain goal ahead and nothing left from hell to sky shall ever turn us back.
All right mister, let me tell you that winning means you're willing to go longer, work harder, give more than anyone else.
