Vince Lombardi quotes about
If you are not fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.
Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is
Winning isn't everything, but the will to win is everything.
Winning is not everything. It's the only thing.
A disciplined person is one who follows the will of the one who gives the orders.
I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.
I'm not afraid to die - it's just that I had so much left to do in this world.
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.
Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while... you don't do things right once in a while... you do them right all the time. Winning is habit.
There is only one way to succeed in anything and that is to give it everything.
There is only one way to succeed in anything and that is to give everything. I do and I demand that my players do. Any man's finest hour is when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle... victorious.
I think the Kansas City team is a real top football team, but doesn't compare with the National Football League teams. That's what you want me to say. I said it.
getting to the final is everything, and winning is icing on the cake.
Live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!
