“If you get into the endzone, act as if you’ve been there before.”

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.

Offensively, you do what you do best and you do it again and again. Defensively, you attack your opponent’s strength.

I derived my strength from daily mass and communion.

The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That’s real glory. That’s the essence of it.

Without love, there is no reason to know anyone, for love will in the end connect us to our neighbors, our children and our hearts.

Eternity is a long time, especially towards the end.

There cannot be a happy ending to the fight between the raging gods and humans.

If you own this story you get to write the ending.

In every tyrant’s heart there springs in the end this poison, that he cannot trust a friend.

The divine gift of life must be promoted, guarded, and protected from conception to its natural end.

I’m scared that every girl I care for will find a better man and end up happier in the long run.

You’re not going to enjoy every minute of the journey, but the success you’ll find at the end will make it all worth it.
