Them, It's Just Right For Us.' So I Had Told (The Team) This Story One Hot Day in
-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

"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

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

them you... my only son." --Jor-El
"Ah, most precious one. Without you I would collapse. I would draw the shades

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

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
It's not how GOOD you are, it's how BAD you want it.
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.
If you can't win, make the person ahead of you break the record.
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

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
Roosevelt
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you
