Joe Paterno’s Top 10 Quotes:

The minute you think you've got it made, disaster is just around the corner.

“Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy.

“You have to perform at a consistently higher level than others. That's the mark of a true professional.

“When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality.

“You need to play with supreme confidence, or else you'll lose again, and then losing becomes a habit.

“Its the name on the front of the jersey that matters most, not the one on the back.

“Publicity is like poison; it doesn't hurt unless you swallow it.”

“Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good.”
