It's not whether you get knocked down it's whether you get up.

Winning isn't everything but the will to win is everything.

Perfection is not attainable but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser.

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.

The price of success is hard work dedication to the job at hand and the determination that whether we win or lose we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.

Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success it enables you to ignore the minor hurts the opponent's pressure and the temporary failures.

The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.

If it doesn't matter who wins or loses then why do they keep score?

Once you learn to quit it becomes a habit.

Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price.

We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.

Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not but we will be judged by only one thing-the result.

If winning isn't everything why do they keep score?

The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling but in rising again after you fall.

The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. That's the essence of it.

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.

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

Success demands singleness of purpose.

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.

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

If you aren't fired with enthusiasm you will be fired with enthusiasm.

The harder you work the harder it is to surrender.

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

Winning is not everything but wanting to win is.

People who work together will win whether it be against complex football defenses or the problems of modern society.

Winning isn't everything it's the only thing.

Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.
