More quotes by Vince Lombardi
Live as if you were living already for the second time.
Vince Lombardi
In order to succeed, this group will need a singleness of purpose, they will need a dedication, and they will have to convince all of their prospects of the willingness to sacrifice.
Vince Lombardi
A leader must identify himself with the group, must back up the group, even at the risk of displeasing superiors. He must believe that the group wants from him a sense of approval. If this feeling prevails, production, discipline, morale will be high, and in return, you can demand the cooperation to promote the goals of the community.
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
We live in an age fit for heroes. No time has ever offered such perils or prizes... The test of this century will be whether man confuses the growth of wealth and power with the growth of spirit and character.
Vince Lombardi
We know how rough the road will be, how heavy here the load will be, we know about the barricades that wait along the track, but we have set our soul ahead upon a certain goal ahead and nothing left from hell to sky shall ever turn us back.
Vince Lombardi

Vince Lombardi

Vince Lombardi
We didn't lose the game we just ran out of time.
Vince Lombardi
We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
Vince Lombardi
Morally, the life of the organization must be of exemplary nature. This is one phase where the organization must not have criticism.
Vince Lombardi
Success is not a sometimes thing. In other words, you don't do what is right once in awhile, but all the time. Success is a habit. Winning is a habit.
Vince Lombardi
I will demand a commitment to excellence and to victory, and that is what life is all about.
Vince Lombardi
If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.
Vince Lombardi
While statistics are interesting, they're all in the past.
Vince Lombardi
