Every time a player goes out to ply his trade he's got to play from the ground up - from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You've got to be smart to be Number One in any business. But more important, you've got to play with you heart - with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

To the winner, there is 100-percent elation, 100-percent fun, 100-percent laughter; and yet the only thing left to the loser is resolution and determination.

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.

There is no substitute for work.

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

Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it.
