More quotes by Vince Lombardi
And the trouble with me is that my ego just can't accept a loss. I suppose that if I were more perfectly adjusted, I would toss off defeat, but my name is on this ball club. Thirty-six men publicly reflect me and reflect on me, and it's a matter of my pride.
Vince Lombardi
If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.
Vince Lombardi
Choose to achieve perfection. We won't achieve it because perfection is impossible. But by pursuing perfection, we will achieve excellence.
Vince Lombardi
The joy is in creating, not maintaining.
Vince Lombardi
It is essential to understand that battles are primarily won in the hearts of men.
Vince Lombardi
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.
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
I would say that the quality of each man's life is the full measure of that man's commitment of excellence and victory - whether it be football, whether it be business, whether it be politics or government or what have you.
Vince Lombardi
The will to win... the will to achieve...goes dry and arid without continuous renewal.
Vince Lombardi
Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing. If you can shrug off a loss, you can never be a winner!
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
We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
Vince Lombardi
Brains without competitive hearts are rudderless.
Vince Lombardi
Everyone Has A Will To Win But Very Few Have The Will To Prepare To Win
Vince Lombardi
Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization.
Vince Lombardi
Leadership rests not only on outstanding ability. It also rests on commitment, loyalty and pride. It rests on followers who are ready to accept guidance. Leadership is the ability to direct people and - more important - to have those people accept that direction.
Vince Lombardi
When you travel with the team and you eat with the team - you eat what the team eats.
Vince Lombardi
Leadership is not just one quality, but rather a blend of many qualities and while no one individual possesses all of the needed talents that go into leadership, each man can develop a combination to make him a leader.
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
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
Vince Lombardi
