More quotes by Vince Lombardi
Winners never quit and quitters never win.
Vince Lombardi
The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there.
Vince Lombardi
Coaches who can outline plays on a black board are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.
Vince Lombardi
If you get into the endzone, act as if you've been there before.
Vince Lombardi
Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.
Vince Lombardi
The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.
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
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
Success demands singleness of purpose.
Vince Lombardi
Those who have invested the most are the last to surrender.
Vince Lombardi
Winning is not everything - but making the effort to win was... If you can't accept losing, you can't win.
Vince Lombardi
Mental toughness is Spartanism, with all its qualities of self-denial, sacrifice, dedication, fearlessness, and love.
Vince Lombardi
Beat your opponent where he is strongest, and you demoralize him.
Vince Lombardi
Winning is not a sometime thing it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
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
You've got to keep yourself in prime physical condition, because fatigue makes cowards of us all.
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
At many a moment on many a day, I am convinced that pro football must be a game for madmen, and I must be one of them.
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
Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.
