SiG Lady Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 God, every time I see a Vince Lombardi quote, I fall in love all over again: "Winning is not a sometimes thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane Thomas Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 "A strong will is the best attribute that a human being can possess. Not because it guarantees success or goodness, but because a weak will pretty much guarantees failure." Wish I could remember where I first read that, or who wrote it, because it's stuck in my mind ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 Bruce-- Thank you VERY kindly for the link. (I actually posted a reply to this thread several days ago from the other office but something happened online and the post wouldn't take and I had no time to re-write whatever alleged eloquence I'd composed.) It must've been damn' downright AWESOME to work with/for Lombardi during his time. They didn't name that trophy after him for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 There is a book about Vince Lombardi, titled "When Pride Still Mattered"...I think that is the title.... Anyway, it is an awesome read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I think it was darryl Royal, the despotic head of the Texas university football team, who once summarized the true spirit of NCAA football when he said: "Show me a good loser and I'll show you a LOSER!"

SiG Lady Posted May 7, 2004 Author Share Posted May 7, 2004 LOL...! Or like one of our top-two shooters at the local range said recently, "When you shoot a flyer, it isn't a 'flyer'--it's where you f**ked up!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
