Individual commitment to a group effort -- that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
Winning is not everything - but making the effort to win was... If you can't accept losing, you can't win.
Leaders aren't born they are made.
Leaders are made, they are not born
Build for your team a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another and of strength to be derived by unity.
Leaders are not born, they're made.
When you've got the momentum in a football game... that is a time to keep going and get it into the end zone, ... We want to score for America's families.
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!
Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.
Every time a football player goes to ply his trade he's got to play from the ground up -- from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's OK You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.
Football is like life -- it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.
It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever -- the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.
The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.
