Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good.

And the trouble with me is that my ego just can't accept a loss. I suppose that if I were more perfectly adjusted, I would toss off defeat, but my name is on this ball club. Thirty-six men publicly reflect me and reflect on me, and it's a matter of my pride.

I think you've got to pay the price for anything that's worthwhile, and success is paying the price. You've got to pay the price to win, you've got to pay the price to stay on top, and you 've got to pay the price to get there.

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.

Chuck Noll is building one hell of a football team up in Pittsburgh.

Success is like anything worthwhile. It has a price. You have to pay the price to get to the point where success is possible.

The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules, but to win.
