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

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

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.

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.

Gentlemen, we will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence.

Greatness is not attainable, but in the pursuit of it, you can achieve excellence.

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