If you live long enough, lots of nice things happen.

You might reduce Lombardi's coaching philosophy to a single sentence: In any game, you do the things you do best and you do them over and over and over.

Nothing is work unless you'd rather be doing something else.

You can achieve only that which you will do.

At least 80 percent of the success of the football team is determined by the fight and spirit that they put into their play.

San Francisco has always been my favorite booing city. I don't mean the people boo louder or longer, but there is a very special intimacy. When they boo you, you know they mean you. Music, that's what it is to me. One time in Kezar Stadium they gave me a standing boo.

At last, the newspapers discovered the Bears. I kept writing articles about upcoming games, and by reading the papers, I learned editors like superlatives. I blush when I think how many times I wrote that the next game was going to be the most difficult of the season or how a new player was the fastest man in the West.

What makes a good coach? Complete dedication.

Don't do anything in practice that you wouldn't do in the game.

Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.

Many people flounder about in life because they do not have a purpose, an objective toward which to work.
