Favorite quotes or Sayings

A few things recently ( Death of a high school Wrestling coach, Daughter starting a quote board, Iowaboys post ) got me to thinking of some of the best Quotes or sayings that have kind of stuck with me over the years. It would be interesting to hear some of them that have stuck with everyone here. I’ll start with posting a few that have stuck with me:

From my HS Wrestling Coach – ” Cheaters never win and winners never cheat ” ” Pain builds character – We want this team to have lots of character ”

A great one from Vince Lombardi – ” Perfection is not attainable, But if we chase perfection we can catch excellence ”

Looking forward to hearing some of yours.
