More quotes by 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
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
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing-the result.
Vince Lombardi
Winning is not a sometime thing it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

Vince Lombardi
One's desire, not ability, determines success.
Vince Lombardi
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
Success rests not only on ability, but upon commitment, loyalty, and pride.
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
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
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
You defeat defeatism with confidence.
Vince Lombardi
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
Success is not a sometimes thing. In other words, you don't do what is right once in awhile, but all the time. Success is a habit. Winning is a habit.
Vince Lombardi
Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.
Vince Lombardi
Regardless of what you do put in, every game boils down to doing the things you do best and doing them over and over again.
Vince Lombardi
Winning is not everything - but making the effort to win was... If you can't accept losing, you can't win.
Vince Lombardi
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.
Vince Lombardi
The strength of the group is the strength of the leaders.
Vince Lombardi
Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character.
Vince Lombardi
