“Success rests not only on ability, but upon commitment, loyalty, and pride.”

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.

If you really want something , you can have it if you’re willing to pay the price. And the price means you have to work better and harder than the next guy.

Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.

Waiting for the 100 percent right and certain solution leads to delay, indecision, and an inability to execute.

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.

We’re capable of much more than mediocrity, much more than merely getting by in this world.

Our ability to connect with others is innate, wired into our nervous systems, and we need connection as much as we need physical nourishment.

It is never too late to turn on the light. Your ability to break an unhealthy habit or turn off an old tape doesn’t depend on how long it has been running; a shift in perspective doesn’t depend on how long you’ve held on to the old view.

If the ability to tell right from wrong should have anything to do with the ability to think, then we must be able to ‘demand’ its exercise in every sane person no matter how erudite or ignorant.

Capabilities are clearly manifested only when they have been realized.
