Vince Lombardi on failure

The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price.

Individual commitment to a group effort⁠—that is what makes a team work a company work, a society work, a civilization work.

The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.

I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is precisely why I succeed.

Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Michael Jordanborn 1963

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
