There is something good in men that really yearn for discipline.

Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.

I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.

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

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

- Vince Lombardi

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 habit.

- Vince Lombardi

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

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