Vince Lombardi

Build for your team a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another and of strength to be derived by unity.

Vince Lombardi

Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.

Vince Lombardi

Football is a great deal like life in that it teaches that work, sacrifice, perseverance, competitive drive, selflessness and respect for authority is the price that each and every one of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.

Vince Lombardi

Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good.

Vince Lombardi

Greatness is not attainable, but in the pursuit of it, you can achieve excellence.

Vince Lombardi

I have discovered in my life that it is more challenging to build than to maintain.

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

I think you’ve got to pay the price for anything that’s worthwhile, and success is paying the price. You’ve got to pay the price to win, you’ve got to pay the price to stay on top, and you’ve got to pay the price to get there.

Vince Lombardi

I will demand a commitment to excellence and to victory, and that is what life is all about.

Vince Lombardi

I would say that the quality of each man’s life is the full measure of that man’s commitment of excellence and victory – whether it be football, whether it be business, whether it be politics or government or what have you.
