Vince Lombardi

The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.

Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.

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

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.

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.

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

Only he is successful in his business who makes that pursuit which affords him the highest pleasure sustain him.

If you’re not failing every now and again, it’s a sign you’re not doing anything very innovative.

If you want to double your success rate, you need to double your failure rate.

Success is only meaningful and enjoyable if it feels like your own.

If I had to select one quality and one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick persistence I and determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, “Here comes number seventy one”.

My whole life is about winning. I don’t lose often. I almost never lose.

People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda.

Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

It’s a great thing when you can show that you’ve been successful and that you’ve made a lot of money and that you’ve employed a lot of people.

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then Success is sure.

A successful person finds the right place for himself. But a successful leader finds the right place for others.

The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.
