“I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle – victorious.”

“The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”

“Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.”

“Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.”

“You don’t do things right once in a while. You do things right all the time.”

“There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay and I never want to finish second again.”

“We run to win, not just to be in the race.”
