More quotes by Vince Lombardi
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
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
Some people try to find things in this game that don't exist but football is only two things - blocking and tackling.
Vince Lombardi
I've been accused of lacking compassion. But that just shows I'm not without compassion.
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
It is and has always been an American zeal to be first in everything we do, and to win.
Vince Lombardi
Gentlemen, we will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence.
Vince Lombardi
No one is ever hurt. Hurt is in the mind.
Vince Lombardi
Hold it more important to have the players' confidence than their affection.
Vince Lombardi
One must not hesitate to innovate and change with the times. The leader who stands still is not progressing, and he will not remain a leader for long.
Vince Lombardi
Most people fail, not because of lack of desire, but, because of lack of commitment.
Vince Lombardi
In all my years of coaching, I have never been successful using somebody else's play.
Vince Lombardi
If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?
Vince Lombardi
I think good physical conditioning is essential to any occupation. A man who is physically fit performs better at any job. Fatigue makes cowards of us all.
Vince Lombardi
Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.
Vince Lombardi
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
Teams do not go physically flat, they go mentally stale.
Vince Lombardi
They may not love you at the time, but they will later.
Vince Lombardi
In order to succeed, this group will need a singleness of purpose, they will need a dedication, and they will have to convince all of their prospects of the willingness to sacrifice.
Vince Lombardi
If you can accept losing, you can't win.
Vince Lombardi
