More quotes by Vince Lombardi

Image
Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character.
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.
Vince Lombardi
Image
Illness and fatigue can be career ending. It mean the fans are sick and tired of you.
Vince Lombardi
Image
There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay and I never want to finish second again.

Leaders are not born, they're made.
Vince Lombardi

To achieve success, whatever the job we have, we must pay a price
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
Image
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
Image
The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual. People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society. Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
Vince Lombardi
Image
You carry on no matter what are the obstacles. You simply refuse to give up - and, when the going gets tough, you get tougher. And, you win.
Vince Lombardi
Image
The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind you have to convince.
Vince Lombardi
Image
The will to win... the will to achieve...goes dry and arid without continuous renewal.
Vince Lombardi
Image
A team that thinks it's going to lose is going to lose.
Vince Lombardi
Image
It is essential to understand that battles are primarily won in the hearts of men.
Vince Lombardi
Image
Gentlemen, this is the football.
Vince Lombardi
Image
You've got to keep yourself in prime physical condition, because fatigue makes cowards of us all.
Vince Lombardi
Image
We win our games in practice. We learn and follow the fundamentals of our game better than anyone in the league. All of our games are won in practice.
Vince Lombardi
Image
If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?
Vince Lombardi
Image
I don't build character. I eliminate the people who don't have it.
