There's always the motivation of wanting to win. Everybody has that. But a champion needs, in his attitude, a motivation above and beyond winning.
No matter who you are, or what you're doing, there's always going to be someone that wants to be better than you. So I try to take the high road and be the bigger person. That way, you always win in the end!
In order to win you must be prepared to lose sometime. And leave one or two cards showing.
You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try - you don't take the risk.
Nobody likes to hear it, because it's dull, but the reason you win or lose is darn near always the same - pitching.

I think even if I was to go out there and win the Olympics, everyone's still going to remember the pre-race routine that I do and the video that went viral, so, y'know, that's alright for me.
Trump can spend virtually an unlimited amount of his own money on this election, which makes him unlike any of the other candidates in the race. So those who oppose him will have to work very hard to make sure he doesn't win.
Some campaigns are not worth waging if you can't win; others have to be fought on grounds of principle regardless of the chances for success.
Football is a team sport and not an individual sport. We win as a team, and every individual is better if we are part of the team.
We're at war against the ultimate evil in the world, and We're going to win.
In competition, you see people who win and lose, and you have to learn how to lose gracefully. You have to be able to come back in the day and compete again, not hold a grudge, and put everything into the next fight.
A good balance of winning and losing is important. If you just win all the time, you won't get anything out of it; having some tough losses can be really important.

I think what you're seeing is a profound recognition on the part of the American people that gays and lesbians and transgender persons are our brothers, our sisters, our children, our cousins, our friends, our co-workers, and that they've got to be treated like every other American.

The day after high school, I was off to basic training at the Great Lakes Naval Station. You gotta understand, we didn't care about sports. We wanted to win the war. We wanted to win the war! And at the time, we didn't know if we would.
You are responsible to each other because when you win a game of football, you only need eight players to perform well.

I don't think I was a miracle man. Neither were Lou Holtz or Frank Leahy. We all found ways to win.

You win battles by knowing the enemy's timing, and using a timing which the enemy does not expect.
When my girl do better than me, I still win. When I do better than her, she still wins.
