“Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.”
George Patton Jr.

“Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all time thing. You don’t win once in a while; you don’t do things once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.”
Vince Lombardi
