“Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.”

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.

If you can’t get emotional about what you believe in your heart, you’re in the wrong business.

Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him. It’s something we call heart power. Once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success.

Those who have invested the most are the last to surrender.

One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true of false. It comes to be the dominating thought in one’s mind.

Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence.

It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever – the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.

Just because you fail once doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything.

My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Love is not blind. It simply enables one to see things others fail to see.

I am grateful for all my victories, but I am especially grateful for my losses, because they only made me work harder.

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

You’ll never find a rainbow if you’re looking down.

Do not think of todays failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow.
