“Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.”

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

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

“The difference between men is in energy, in the strong will, in the settled purpose and in the invincible determination.”

“Why did I choose Washington among offers from other cities? Because it is the capital of the world.”

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

“Go back through football, and you will see that the team with the best defense wins.”

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

“I'm not afraid to die - it's just that I had so much left to do in this world.”

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

“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.”

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

“Some people try to find things in this game that don't exist but football is only two things - blocking and tackling.”

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

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

“Mental toughness is spartanism with qualities of sacrifice, self-denial, dedication. It is fearlessness, and it is love.”

“I'll put the Packers' best players on defense. It's best for a team and good for its morale.”

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

“They'd better be physically tough when they start pulling on their football pants.”

“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.”
