Oldie but goodie from Bill Shankly...

"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I'm very disappointed with that attitude.
I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.”

People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit.-George H. Allen

Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge that results in victory.-Arthur Ashe

If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?
Vince Lombardi

Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

And of course my old coach used to say with a grin "winning isn't everything, but it's what we came here to do today so let get to work at having fun!"

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

John F. Kennedy

Ask not what you can give to your country, but what can your country give to you.

Barack Obama

"Silence....I kill you"

Sun Tzu "The Art of War"

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.

If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

General George Patton:

“You must be single minded. Drive for the one thing on which you have decided. You will find that you will make some people miserable; those you love and very often yourself. And, if it looks like you are getting there, all kinds of people, including some whom you thought were loyal friends, will suddenly show up doing their…hypocritical best to trip you up, blacken you, and break your spirit.”

"You can't just beat a team, you have to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see you again”

Mia Hamm
