Vince Lombardi
Image

Vince Lombardi
Image
Success demands singleness of purpose.
Vince Lombardi
Image
To the winner, there is 100-percent elation, 100-percent fun, 100-percent laughter and yet the only thing left to the loser is resolution and determination.
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
There's no such thing as Perfection. But, in striving for perfection, we can achieve excellence.
