Favorite Quotes

The rabbit joke Phil posted reminded me of a quote that I think is pretty good. I'll post it here and then invite everyone to contribute your favorite quotes to this thread.

Quote:
Every morning in the desert, a rabbit wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest coyote or it will be eaten. Every morning in the desert, a coyote wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest rabbit or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a rabbit or a coyote - when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.
Anyone have others they like?

"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. "

Heck - here are all my Lombardi favorites. It's no wonder this uy excelled every place he went. Take a moment and read each of these...they are as good as it gets....

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.

Vince Lombardi

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

Vince Lombardi

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

Vince Lombardi

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

Vince Lombardi

If you can accept losing you can't win. If you can walk you can run. No one is ever hurt. Hurt is in your mind.

Vince Lombardi

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

Vince Lombardi

It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever - the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.

Vince Lombardi

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

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

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

Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can.

Vince Lombardi

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

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.

Vince Lombardi

Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.

Vince Lombardi

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

Vince Lombardi

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

Vince Lombardi

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

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

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.

Vince Lombardi

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

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

Vince Lombardi


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

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

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Vince Lombardi

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.

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

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.

Vince Lombardi

We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time.

Vince Lombardi

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

Vince Lombardi

Winners never quit and quitters never win.

Vince Lombardi

Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

Vince Lombardi

Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all 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. Unfortunately, so is losing.

Vince Lombardi

Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is.

Vince Lombardi

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

Vince Lombardi

My favorite quote on commitment to succeed

My favorite quote on a commitment to your customer comes from the movie Jerry Maguire...you may rememebr it...

Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) to Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr):

I will not rest until I have you holding a coke, wearing your own shoe, playing a Sega game featuring you, while singing your own song in a new commercial starring you, broadcast during the super bowl, in a game that you are winning, and I will not rest until that happens.

On every call....Great Quote

"A sale is made on every call you make. Either you sell the client a mortgage, or he sells you on a reason he can't. Either way, a sale is made. The only question in, 'Who's gonna close?' you or him?"
