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

You defeat defeatism with confidence.

If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.

True perfection is unattainable, but if you chase perfection you will catch excellence!

I've been in football all my life, gentlemen, and I don't know whether I'm particularly qualified to be a part of anything else, except I consider it a great game, a game of many assets, by the way, and I think a symbol of what this country's best attributes are: courage and stamina and a coordinated efficiency or teamwork.

In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail.
