It is essential to understand that battles are primarily won in the hearts of men. Men respond to leadership in a most remarkable way and once you have won his heart, he will follow you anywhere.

Winning is not the most important thing; it's everything.

The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there.

Winning is not everything - but making the effort to win was... If you can't accept losing, you can't win.

At many a moment on many a day, I am convinced that pro football must be a game for madmen, and I must be one of them.

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.

Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.
