“Second place is meaningless. You can’t always be first, but you have to believe that you should have been – that you were never beaten – that time just ran out on you.”

Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character.

Errors, mistakes, and humiliations are all necessary steps in the learning process.

The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.

Mental toughness is a state of mind – you could call it character in action.

Success is not a sometimes thing. In other words, you don’t do what is right once in awhile, but all the time. Success is a habit. Winning is a habit.

You never win a game unless you beat the guy in front of you. The score on the board doesn’t mean a thing. That’s for the fans. You’ve got to win the war with the man in front of you. You’ve got to get your man.

The challenge of every team is to build a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another because the question is usually not how well each person performs, but how well they work together.

There’s only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything.

There are three things important to every man in this locker room. His God, his family, and the Green Bay Packers. In that order.

We know how rough the road will be, how heavy here the load will be, we know about the barricades that wait along the track, but we have set our soul ahead upon a certain goal ahead and nothing left from hell to sky shall ever turn us back.

Many more things would be accomplished if we didn’t consider them impossible.

Mental toughness is many things and rather difficult to explain. Its qualities are sacrifice and self-denial. Also, most importantly, it is combined with a perfectly disciplined will that refuses to give in. It’s a state of mind-you could call it character in action.

You carry on no matter what are the obstacles. You simply refuse to give up – and, when the going gets tough, you get tougher. And, you win.

The strength of the group is the strength of the leaders.

Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.

Nobody is hurt. Hurt is in the mind. If you can walk, you can run.

You never win a game unless you beat the guy in front of you. The score on the board doesn’t mean a thing. That’s for the fans. You’ve got to win the war with the man in front of you. You’ve got to get your man.

Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft.

Every kid starts out as a natural-born scientist, and then we beat it out of them. A few trickle through the system with their wonder and enthusiasm for science intact.

Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

I’ve never really had much of an imagination. But still I would try to picture the exact moment when the beating of my heart would no longer be going on inside my head.

I’ll beat him so bad he’ll need a shoehorn to put his hat on.

If you even dream of beating me you’d better wake up and apologize.
