Inspirational Quotations by Knute Rockne
- I don't like to lose, and that isn't so much because
it is just a football game, but because defeat means
the failure to reach your objective. I don't want a football player
who doesn't take defeat to heart, who laughs it off with the thought,
"Oh, well, there's another Saturday." The trouble in American life today,
in business as well as in sports, is that too many people are afraid of competition.
The result is that in some circles people have come to sneer at success
if it costs hard work and training and sacrifice.
