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.

Leadership rests not only upon ability, not only upon capacity; having the capacity to lead is not enough. The leader must be willing to use it. His leadership is then based on truth and character. There must be truth in the purpose and will power in the character.

Don't succumb to excuses. Go back to the job of making the corrections and forming the habits that will make your goal possible.

Leaders are not born, they're made.

The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

If you don't think you're a winner, you don't belong here.

The best game plan in the world never blocked or tackled anybody.
