 Besides
his coaching and leadership ability that
led the Bills to 4 straight Super Bowl
appearances, Coach Levy will also be
remembered for his statesman-like
quotes. Being a Harvard graduate with a
master's degree in History, Levy dazzled
the media, players and fans with his
constant references to World War II. He
projected himself as the General of the
Armed Forces and the players were his
troops. He would rally his troops around
witticisms of Winston Churchill, Dwight
Eisenhower or create some himself. Here
are just some of the Marvism quotes that
have become famous over the years.
Perhaps
Marv's most famous quote that he used on
his players as they were about to step
out on the field for their very first
Super Bowl experience:
"Where else would you rather be
than right here, right now?"
"Great
football coaches have the vision to see,
the faith to believe, the courage to
do... and 25 great players."
"Security
comes from earning it--not seeking it."
"Systems
don't win, players do."
"Adversity is an opportunity for
heroism."
"The
harder you work, the harder it is to
surrender."
"What it
takes to win is simple, it's not easy."
"Plan
your work and work your plan."
"If you
have everything prepared, the rest will
take care of itself."
"What you
do should speak so loudly that no one
will hear what you say."
"Expect
rejection, but expect even more strongly
to overcome it."
"There
will be many failures sprinkled among
the successes you enjoy."
"A
failure becomes just one time at bat if
you refuse to let it defeat you."
