George H. Allen

One of the most difficult things everyone has to learn is that for your entire life you must keep fighting and adjusting if you hope to survive. No matter who you are or what your position, you must keep fighting for whatever you desire to achieve.

                If someone is not aware of this contest and expects otherwise, then constant disappointment occurs, People who fail sometimes do not realize that the simple answer to everyday achievement is to keep fighting.

                Health, happiness and success depend upon the fighting spirit of each person. The big thing is not what happens to us in life-but what we do about it when it happens to us.

George H. Allen

(1922 - 1990)

Every time you win, you're reborn. When you lose, you die a little.

Leisure time is that five or six hours when you sleep at night.

Football is one-third offense, one-third defense, and one-third special teams.

Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind.

Today the primary threat to the liberties of the American people comes not from communism, foreign tyrants or dictators. It comes from the tendency on our own shores to centralize power, to trust bureaucracies rather than people.

The street to obscurity is paved with athletes who perform great feats before friendly crowds. Greatness in major league sports is the ability to win in a stadium filled with people who are pulling for you to lose.

If you can accept defeat and open your pay envelope without feeling guilty, you're stealing.

People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.

Health, happiness and success depend upon the fighting spirit of each person. The big thing is not what happens to us in life - but what we do about what happens to us.
