A Quote by Richard Marcinko

I don't follow the thought; "Winning is not important, playing the game is". If that is in fact true; then why do we keep score??

If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?

Vince Lombardi

If winning isn't everything why bother to keep the score?

Knute Rockne

If winning weren't important nobody would keep score.

Al McGuire

Everyone's scared. So scared they can't sleep sometimes. Or eat. Or keep their weight on." "Then why bother playing?" I asked. It was a whisper, this question. "Because. You love the game. You love the people you play with. You love winning, maybe. You love that one moment when you get it right . . . I dunno. Why do you play?" "Because," I whispered, "it's who I am." Sounds like a good reason to me.

Catherine Gilbert Murdock

Of course every player wants to score, it's the most important part of the game, scoring goals and winning games.

Bruno Fernandes

In the Premier League, the most important thing is not to give the team at the top of the table reasons to keep winning game after game.

Fernandinho

I have always thought if there is a game, and there have been a lot of fouls on me, then I have been playing well for the team, so that means we're having a good match. You can win a free-kick when there's a foul, and that's a chance to score a goal.

Eden Hazard

I mean, if I could score 40 every game, then I would score 40 every game. But I think I cannot score 40 every game, so I'm gonna pass a little bit, too.

Nikola Jokic

I just go out and try to do my job the best I can. If that's playing defense as hard as I can or if that's taking the opportunity to score I'll do that, but it's all about just winning the game no matter what happens.

George Hill

The thing I expect from myself, when I play, is to score, in every game. If I don't, then it happens. But when you start a game, if you are a striker, you need to score.

Demba Ba

Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.

Donald Trump

I like playing on this team. We actually been doin' real good. Got a different mix here. Most important thing is you gotta keep pickin' up in paces. That's why we're playing contentious play. We got top names, guys can still hit in the majors, guys been out of the game hittin' the ball, shockin' it. Don't have no old, old guys. Not sayin' they don't get a good job done. Fact is, they've been vice versa. So that's incentive right there. It's been a plus.

Mickey Rivers

I knew I could play really well in one game, score the winning goal and then, come the next game, I wouldn't play at all or I might come off the bench for the last five minutes. So I was frustrated towards the end of my time at Spurs. I wasn't happy.

Jermain Defoe

[Malcolm Subban] is probably winning the battle cause we had a couple skates together and I didn't score too much on him. So I guess I'll say that I'm waiting for the game to score on him.
