Leadership rests not only on outstanding ability. It also rests on commitment, loyalty and pride. It rests on followers who are ready to accept guidance. Leadership is the ability to direct people and - more important - to have those people accept that direction.

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.

There is no substitute for work.

Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is.

The will to win... the will to achieve...goes dry and arid without continuous renewal.

Leadership is based on a spiritual quality; the power to inspire, the power to inspire others to follow

Relentlessly pursue perfection knowing we won't catch it, but in the process we'll achieve excellence.
