More quotes by 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
Winners never quit and quitters never win.
Vince Lombardi
Character is the direct result of mental attitude. I believe that character is higher than the intellect. I believe that leadership is in sacrifice, in self-denial, in humility and in the perfectly disciplined will. This is the distinction between great and little men.
Vince Lombardi
We don't pray to win. We pray to play the best we can, and to keep us free from injury. And the prayer we say after the game is one of thanksgiving.
Vince Lombardi
Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.

Vince Lombardi
It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.

Vince Lombardi
Leaders aren't born they are made.
Vince Lombardi
The will to win... the will to achieve...goes dry and arid without continuous renewal.
