"The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor."	Vincent Thomas "Vince" Lombardi
"The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel, are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur."	Vincent Thomas "Vince" Lombardi
"After the cheers have died down and the stadium is empty, after the headlines have been written and after you are back in the quiet of your room and the championship ring has been placed on the dresser and all the pomp and fanfare has faded, the enduring things that are left are: the dedication to excellence, the dedication to victory, and the dedication to doing with our lives the very best we can to make the world a better place in which to live."	Vincent Thomas "Vince" Lombardi
"To those who charge that liberalism has been tried and found wanting, I answer that the failure is not in the idea, but in the course of recent history. The New Deal was ended by World War II. The New Frontier was closed by Berlin and Cuba almost before it was opened. And the Great Society lost its greatness in the jungles of Indochina."	George Stanley McGovern
"Persistence is the twin sister of excellence. One is a matter of quality; the other, a matter of time."	Marabel Morgan
"What starts the process, really, are laughs and slights and snubs when you are a kid. ... If your anger is deep enough and strong enough, you learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence, personal gut performance."	Richard Milhouse Nixon
"The greatness comes not when things go always good for you. But the greatness comes when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes. Because only if you've been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain."	Richard Milhouse Nixon
"Great men are the guideposts and landmarks in the state."	Edmund Burke
"I do not admire a virtue like valour when it is pushed to excess, if I do not see at the same time the excess of the opposite virtue, as one does in Epaminondas, who displayed extreme valour and extreme benevolence. For otherwise it is not an ascent, but a fall. We do not display our greatness by placing ourselves at one extremity, but rather by being at both at the same time, and filling up the whole of the space between them."	Blaise Pascal
"There be three things which make a nation great and prosperous: a fertile soil, busy workshops, easy conveyance for men and goods from place to place."	Francis Bacon
"If we are to be a really great people, we must strive in good faith to play a great part in the world. We cannot avoid meeting great issues. All that we can determine for ourselves is whether we shall meet them well or ill."	Theodore Roosevelt
"I am convinced that nothing will happen to me, for I know the greatness of the task for which Providence has chosen me."	Adolf Hitler
