Once you get a reputation as an early riser you can sleep until noon/

-Marv Levy

“My father was in the Marines in World War I, and he was in a famous battle,
the Battle of Belleau Wood," Levy recalled. "He had a commanding officer, a
major named'Hard' John Hughes who used to say, 'When it's too tough for
them, it's just right for us.' So I had told (the team) this story one hot day in
training camp and I hadn't mentioned it much since. But before the kickoff, we
gathered the team together on the sidelines and Shane Conlan said, 'Coach,
can I say something?' And he said,'When it's too tough for them, it's just right
for us.' And I think our team took that attitude into the game."

“‘Fight on my men,' Sir Andrew said, 'a little I'm hurt, but not yet slain. I'll just
lie down and bleed a while then I'll rise to fight again.'"

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you
really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived
through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the
thing you think you cannot do"--Eleanor Roosevelt

"A leader must identify himself with the group, must back up the group, even at
the risk of displeasing superiors. He must believe that the group wants from him
a sense of approval. If this feeling prevails, production, discipline, morale will be
high, and in return, you can demand the cooperation to promote the goals of the
company."--Vince Lombardi
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false
friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a
redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.--Bessie Stanley

And then I'll rise and fight again"  -- Unknown

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son! -- Rudyard Kipling

Please don't confront me with my failures.  I have not forgotten them. --  Nico

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. --
Hebrews 11:1

Today, I'm going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I have had so far: the
accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because
they have served to make me stronger. -- Unknown

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what
lies within us. --  Oliver Wendell Holmes

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort

and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. --
Martin Luther King Jr.

I not only use all the brains that I have, but all that I can borrow. --  Woodrow
Wilson

Sometimes, what we care about most gets ALL used up and goes away...never
to return. So...while we have it...it's best we LOVE it... and care for it...and fix it
when it's broken... and heal it when it's sick. --  Unknown

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are
powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens
us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does
not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in
some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we
unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated
from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. --  Marianne
Williamson

When it's too tough for them, it's just right for us. --  Marv Levy

If you have the reputation of a man who gets up at six, you can sleep until noon.
--  Marv Levy

Where else would you rather be than right here right now?  --  Marv Levy

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man
stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs
to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and
sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and
again...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends
himself in a worthy course; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of
high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring
greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who
know neither victory nor defeat. -- Theodore Roosevelt

Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither
thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodges, I will lodge: thy people shall be my
people, and thy God my God. Where thou deist, will I die, and there will I be
buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and
me. --  Ruth 1:16-17

Champions expect pain, endure pain, never complain.

If it hurts, make it worse. (Obviously a sick crew here)

The pride we gain is worth the pain.

All it takes is all you got.

Full effort is full victory.

Prepare for glory.

It's not how GOOD you are, it's how BAD you want it.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It's not where you start, it's where you finish.

Perseverance is not a long race, it is many short races, one after another.

The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle.

Pressure is nothing but the shadow of great opportunity.

If you can't win, make the person ahead of you break the record.

Play hard or don't play at all.

The only easy day is yesterday.

The Six W's: Work will win when wishing won't.-- Todd Blackledge
The difference between failure and success is doing a thing nearly right and
doing it exactly right. Attention to Detail! -- Edward C. Simmons

The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do
what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while
they do it.--Theodore Roosevelt

Vision without action is daydream. Action without vision is nightmare.--

Japanese Proverb

In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing
you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing.--Theodore

We all make something. Some make excuses. Some make differences.—

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you
didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away
from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.--Eleanor Roosevelt

We cannot become what we want to be by remaining the way we are.--Max
