Individual commitment to a group effort -- that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work. - Vince Lombardi

This is a very powerful quote that that is very true. This is a bold statement that Lombardi makes. He states that it is important to contribute to the good of everybody instead of the good for yourself. He states that the only way any kind of group will work is if everybody contributes to the group.
Lombardi chooses his words very good in his quote. He starts out with stating it makes a team work. Then he builds up to a company. Next, he builds to a society. After all of this, he states that it makes a whole civilization work. He describes very well how it makes the small things work. Then he states how every group that is successful must have committed members it work.
Hard work to a single effort—that is what makes selfishness, individual pride, and arrogance.
