More quotes by Vince Lombardi
Those who have invested the most are the last to surrender.
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
Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him. It's something we call heart power. Once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success.
Vince Lombardi
Success demands singleness of purpose.
Vince Lombardi
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
Vince Lombardi

Vince Lombardi
No leader, however great, can long continue unless he wins battles. The battle decides all.
Vince Lombardi

Vince Lombardi
I've been in football all my life, gentlemen, and I don't know whether I'm particularly qualified to be a part of anything else, except I consider it a great game, a game of many assets, by the way, and I think a symbol of what this country's best attributes are: courage and stamina and a coordinated efficiency or teamwork.
Vince Lombardi
Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.
Vince Lombardi
There are three things important to every man in this locker room. His God, his family, and the Green Bay Packers. In that order.
Vince Lombardi
The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.
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
In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail.
Vince Lombardi
If you'll not settle for anything less than your best, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in your lives.
Vince Lombardi
Fatigue makes cowards of us all.
Vince Lombardi
To achieve success, whatever the job we have, we must pay a price
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
