The successful man is himself. To be successful, you've got to be honest with yourself.

The coaches who win are the ones who can motivate their players. Winning isn't everything, but the will to win is everything.

Mental toughness is Spartanism, with all its qualities of self-denial, sacrifice, dedication, fearlessness, and love.

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

The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.

Each of us, if we would grow, must be committed to excellence. The championships, the money, the color; all of these things linger only in the memory. It is the spirit, the will to excel, the will to win; these are the things that endure.

After the cheers have died down and the stadium is empty, after the headlines have been written and after you are back in the quiet of your room and the championship ring has been placed on the dresser and all the pomp and fanfare has faded, the enduring things that are left are: the dedication to excellence, the dedication to victory, and the dedication to doing with our lives the very best we can to make the world a better place in which to live.
