Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.
Gentlemen, we will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence.
The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there.
Each of us, if we would grow, must be committed to excellence. The championships, the money, the color; all of these things linger only in the memory. It is the spirit, the will to excel, the will to win; these are the things that endure.
There's no such thing as Perfection. But, in striving for perfection, we can achieve excellence.
It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing-the result.
Winners never quit and quitters never win.
Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.
Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
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.
Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all 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. Unfortunately, so is losing.
Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing.
We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
