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

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
Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.
Vince Lombardi
When you are through trying to improve, you are through.
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
There is something good in men that really yearn for discipline.
Vince Lombardi
We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
Vince Lombardi
All right mister, let me tell you that winning means you're willing to go longer, work harder, give more than anyone else.
Vince Lombardi
The best game plan in the world never blocked or tackled anybody.
