Probably one of the most popular quotes out there in the US culture is Vince Lombardi's "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing." It is in fact a misquote. What Lombardi said was, "Winning isn't the only thing, but the desire to win is everything."

That's a considerable difference in meaning and it's a shame it is so often used to create an unrealistic attitude, especially in kids. The real quote ain't bad and puts forth a lot better message.
