More quotes by Vince Lombardi
You defeat defeatism with confidence.
Vince Lombardi
Mental toughness is many things. It is humility because it behooves all of us to remember that simplicity is the sign of greatness and meekness is the sign of true strength. Mental toughness is spartanism with qualities of sacrifice, self-denial, dedication. It is fearlessness, and it is love.
Vince Lombardi
It does not matter how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get up.
Vince Lombardi
To the winner, there is 100-percent elation, 100-percent fun, 100-percent laughter and yet the only thing left to the loser is resolution and determination.
Vince Lombardi
We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
Vince Lombardi
I said, 'You missed practice yesterday didn't you?' The player replied, 'No coach, not a bit.'
Vince Lombardi
The Green Bay Packers never lost a football game. They just ran out of time.
Vince Lombardi
To be successful, a man must exert an effective influence upon his brothers and upon his associates, and the degree in which he accomplishes this depends on the personality of the man. The incandescence of which he is capable. The flame of fire that burns inside of him. The magnetism which draws the heart of other men to him.
Vince Lombardi
Winners never quit and quitters never win.
Vince Lombardi
Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.
Vince Lombardi
Second place is meaningless. You can't always be first, but you have to believe that you should have been - that you were never beaten - that time just ran out on you.
Vince Lombardi
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
Vince Lombardi
True perfection is unattainable, but if you chase perfection you will catch excellence!
Vince Lombardi
The best game plan in the world never blocked or tackled anybody.
Vince Lombardi
There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay and I never want to finish second again.
Vince Lombardi
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing-the result.
Vince Lombardi
No leader, however great, can long continue unless he wins battles. The battle decides all.
Vince Lombardi
Leadership rests not only upon ability, not only upon capacity having the capacity to lead is not enough. The leader must be willing to use it. His leadership is then based on truth and character. There must be truth in the purpose and will power in the character.
Vince Lombardi
The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind you have to convince.
Vince Lombardi
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.
Vince Lombardi
