Top Ten Favorite Vince Lombardi Quotes

I love quotes.  I have sticky notes all over my home and office with quotes that motivate and inspire me.  My favorite quotes always seem to come from sports Coaches – my absolute favorites coming from Vince Lombardi. Noted as one of the best NFL Coaches of all time (NY Giants, Green Bay Packers, and Washington Redskins) Lombardi holds a career record of 105-35-6, including the very first (and second!) Superbowl with a win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
