I've learned that something constructive comes from every defeat.

Right after the game, say as little as possible.

Today, you have 100% of your life left.

A winner never stops trying.

Leadership is getting someone to do what they don't want to do, to achieve what they want to achieve.

If you are prepared, you will be confident, and will do the job.

Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.

When you want to win a game, you have to teach. When you lose a game, you have to learn.

I've learned that something constructive comes from every defeat.

The secret to winning is constant, consistent management.

I don't believe in team motivation. I believe in getting a team prepared so it knows it will have the necessary confidence when it steps on a field and be prepared to play a good game.

Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable.

Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you're in control, they're in control.

Achievement builds character.

Being the best at whatever talent you have, that's what stimulates life.

Character is the ability of a person to see a positive end of things. This is the hope that a man of character has.

Confidence comes from knowing what you're doing. If you are prepared for something, you usually do it. If not, you usually fall flat on your face.

Generally, achieving goals... which in many cases means winning... is really the ultimate in this life we live in.

I just didn't want to leave the Cowboys when they were down. I at least wanted them to get into a respectable position before anyone else took over.

I know that life is really finding the right relationship between yourself and God.

I learned early in sports that to be effective - for a player to play the best he can play - is a matter of concentration and being unaware of distractions, positive or negative.

I wouldn't think I would coach again, because it would just be hard not being in the Cowboys' blue.

If I had to pick my greatest strength as a football coach, I say it would be innovation.

Really, coaching is simplicity. It's getting players to play better than they think that they can.

Take away winning, and you take away everything that is strong about America.

There are coaches to whom winning or losing means something close to life or death. If they lose, then their life has somehow been diminished. I'm not that way, and it keeps me steady.

When a big play occurs for our team, I'm concentrating on how the defense is reacting to it. Most of the time, I don't see the great catch or the long run. What I'm looking at is how the other team defended it.

I didn't believe in team motivation. I believe in getting a team prepared so it knows it will have the necessary confidence when it steps on the field and be prepared to play a good game.

A coach is someone who tells you what you dont want to hear who has you see what you dont want to see so you can be who you have always known you could be.

When you want to win a game you have to teach. When you lose a game you have to learn.

I like the South because it is so much warmer on the sidelines than it is up North.

Football is to Texas what religion is to a priest.

As a nation we should commit ourselves not only to the fight against terrorism, but to economic justice, defeat of the AIDS epidemic and vestiges of discriminatory policies of all kinds.

It wasn't my plan to create such a record. All I did was put in the effort to win every match I played and it went on for weeks, months and years until my defeat to Ross Norman in Toulouse in 1986.

The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.

The real peril of war lies not in military defeat. It lies in war itself, whether we win or lose.

If you live long enough, you'll see that every victory turns into a defeat.

I'm a political scientist and I study these things, and I know that economic problems, with the rising unemployment and inflation and low productivity and so forth, were a factor in that election, in that defeat of President Carter.

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

You don't have to fear defeat if you believe it may reveal powers that you didn't know you possessed.

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

A reformer is one who sets forth cheerfully toward sure defeat.

Domestic policy can only defeat us; foreign policy can kill us.

Life can't defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death.

I tried to contribute to the defeat of the Soviets. If I contributed 1%, it is 1% of something enormous.

In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat, but in the evolution of real knowledge it marks the first step in progress toward a victory.

Terrorism is a big danger to Pakistan's independence. We will fight this danger for the sake of independence of Pakistan and will defeat it at all levels.
