I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
Vince Lombardi
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.
Vince Lombardi
Image
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
Image
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.

If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.
Vince Lombardi
Image
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
Image
Having the capacity to lead is not enough. The leader must be willing to use it.
Vince Lombardi
Image
Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character.
Vince Lombardi
Image
I've been accused of lacking compassion. But that just shows I'm not without compassion.
Vince Lombardi
Image
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
Image
Offensively, you do what you do best and you do it again and again. Defensively, you attack your opponent's strength.
Vince Lombardi
Image
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
Image
If you can accept losing, you can't win.
Vince Lombardi
Image
Don't succumb to excuses. Go back to the job of making the corrections and forming the habits that will make your goal possible.
Vince Lombardi
Image
The coaches who win are the ones who can motivate their players. Winning isn't everything, but the will to win is everything.
Vince Lombardi
Image
A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.
