More quotes by Vince Lombardi
Build for your team a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another and of strength to be derived by unity.
Vince Lombardi
You carry on no matter what are the obstacles. You simply refuse to give up - and, when the going gets tough, you get tougher. And, you win.
Vince Lombardi
Unless a man believes in himself and makes a total commitment to his career and puts everything he has into it - his mind, his body, his heart - what's life worth to him?
Vince Lombardi
Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good.
Vince Lombardi
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.
Vince Lombardi

Vince Lombardi
Having the capacity to lead is not enough. The leader must be willing to use it.
Vince Lombardi
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.
Vince Lombardi
Hold it more important to have the players' confidence than their affection.
Vince Lombardi
You defeat defeatism with confidence.
Vince Lombardi
Mental toughness is a state of mind - you could call it 'character in action.'
Vince Lombardi
No leader, however great, can long continue unless he wins battles. The battle decides all.
Vince Lombardi
They do not truly love who do not show their love.
Vince Lombardi
We didn't lose the game we just ran out of time.
Vince Lombardi
You never win a game unless you beat the guy in front of you. The score on the board doesn't mean a thing. That's for the fans. You've got to win the war with the man in front of you. You've got to get your man.
Vince Lombardi
