Charity
|

|
There is only one way to succeed in anything and that is to give everything. I do and I demand that my players do. Any man's finest hour is when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle... victorious.
-Vince Lombardi

 |
Commitment
|

|
Individual commitment to a group effort -- that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
-Vince Lombardi
|

|
The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.
-Vince Lombardi
|

|
It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.
-Vince Lombardi

 |
Competition
|

|
Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the 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 a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place
-Vince Lombardi
|
 |
Desires
|

|
Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is.
-Vince Lombardi
|
 |
Determination
|

|
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
-Vince Lombardi
|
 |
Devotion
|

|
After the cheers have died down and the stadium is empty, after the headlines have been written and after you are back in the quiet of your room and the championship ring has been placed on the dresser and all the pomp and fanfare has faded, the enduring things that are left are: the dedication to excellence, the dedication to victory, and the dedication to doing with our lives the very best we can to make the world a better place in which to live.
-Vince Lombardi

 |
Enthusiasm
|

|
If you aren't fired up with enthusiasm, you'll be fired with enthusiasm.
-Vince Lombardi
|
 |
Excellence
|

|
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
|
 |
Faith
|

|
It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you've got to have is faith and discipline when you're not yet a winner.
-Vince Lombardi

Football
|

|
The Green Bay Packers never lost a football game. They just ran out of time.
-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
|

|
A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall.
-Vince Lombardi
|

|
Every time a football player goes to ply his trade he's got to play from the ground up -- from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's OK You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.
-Vince Lombardi
|

|
Football is like life -- it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.
-Vince Lombardi
|
 |
Habits
|

|
Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.
-Vince Lombardi
|
 |
Help
|

|
People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.
-Vince Lombardi
|
 |
Humility
|

|
Mental toughness is many things. It is humility because it behooves all of us to remember that simplicity is the sign of greatness and meekness is the sign of true strength. Mental toughness is spartanism with qualities of sacrifice, self-denial, dedication. It is fearlessness, and it is love.
-Vince Lombardi
|
 |
Leadership
|

|
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
|

|
Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
-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
|

|
Coaches who can outline plays on a black board are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.
-Vince Lombardi
|
 |
Perfection
|

|
Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.
-Vince Lombardi
|
 |
Potential
|

|
A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.
-Vince Lombardi
