“Commitment
to Excellence”
“And
it’s a grace, I think, a great deal like life in that it demands
that a man’s personal commitment be toward excellence and be
toward victory, even though you know that ultimate victory can never
be completely won. Yet it must be pursued with all of one’s might.
And each week there’s a new encounter, each year a new challenge.
The spirit, the will to win and the will to excel, these are the
things that endure and these are the qualities that are so much more
important than any of the events that occasion them.
And I’d like to say that the quality of any man’s life
has got to be a full measure of that man’s personal commitment to
excellence and to victory, regardless of what field he may be in.”
Vince Lombardi
