Vince Lombardi

Vince Lombardi
It is essential to understand that battles are primarily won in the hearts of men. Men respond to leadership in a most remarkable way and once you have won his heart, he will follow you anywhere.

Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.
Vince Lombardi
To be successful, a man must exert an effective influence upon his brothers and upon his associates, and the degree in which he accomplishes this depends on the personality of the man. The incandescence of which he is capable. The flame of fire that burns inside of him. The magnetism which draws the heart of other men to him.

Vince Lombardi
The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.
Vince Lombardi
When you travel with the team and you eat with the team - you eat what the team eats.
Vince Lombardi
If a man is running down the street with everything you own, you won't let him get away. That's tackling.
Vince Lombardi
The leader can never close the gap between himself and the group. If he does, he is no longer what he must be. He must walk a tightrope between the consent he must win and the control he must exert.
Vince Lombardi
I derived my strength from daily mass and communion.
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
When you're tired, you rationalize. You make excuses in your mind. You say, I'm too tired I'm bushed I can't do this I'll loaf. Then you're a coward.
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
Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price.
Vince Lombardi
