Thomas Alva Edison Bear in mind, if you are going to amount to anything, that your success does not depend upon the brilliancy and the impetuosity with which you take hold, but upon the ever lasting and sanctified buldoggedness with which you hang on after you have taken hold. Dr. A. B. Meldrum They say love will find a way. I know determination will. Ronnie Milsap The longer I live, the surer I become that the truest real difference between the success and the failure, between the strong and the weak, between the rich and the poor, between the great and the average, is just plain will power, invincible determination, a purpose once set and then death or victory. And no fine manners, education or brilliance, no talent, opportunity or culture can make any two-legged creature a man without it. Sir Thomas Buxton It takes a little courage, and a little self-control. And some grim determination, If you want to reach the goal. It takes a great deal of striving, and a firm and stern-set chin. No matter what the battle, if you really want to win, there’s no easy path to glory. There is no road to fame. Life, however we may view it, Is no simple parlor game; But its prizes call for fighting, For endurance and for grit; For a rugged disposition that will not quit. Navy SEAL Masterchief Fight one more round. When your feet are so tired that you have to shuffle back to the centre of the ring, fight one more round. When your arms are so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard, fight one more round. When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black and you are so tired you wish your opponent would crack you one on the jaw and put you to sleep, fight one more round – remembering that the man who always fights one more round is never whipped. James Corbett He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how. Friedrich Nietzsche Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. Michael Jordon Being your best is not so much about overcoming the barriers other people place in front of you as it is about overcoming the barriers we place in front of ourselves. It has nothing to do with how many times you win or lose. It has no relation to where you finish in a race or whether you break world records. But it does have everything to do with having the vision to dream, the courage to recover from adversity and the determination never to be shifted from your goals. Kieran Perkins Self-determination is fine but needs to be tempered with self-control. Anonymous What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it. Alexander Graham Bell A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough. Christian Nestell Bovee Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. John Calvin Coolidge Decision and determination are the engineer and fireman of our train to opportunity and success. Burt Lawlor It’s a very funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it. William Somerset Maugham The truest wisdom is a resolute determination. Napoleon Bonaparte Determination is the wake-up call to the human will. Anthony Robbins Never underestimate the determination of a kid who is time-rich and cash-poor. Cory Doctorow It was courage, faith, endurance and a dogged determination to surmount all obstacles that built this bridge. John J. Watson I learned about the strength you can get from a close family life. I learned to keep going, even in bad times. I learned not to despair, even when my world was falling apart. I learned that there are no free lunches. And I learned the value of hard work. Lee Iacocca A leader, once convinced that a particular course of action is the right one, must….be undaunted when the going gets tough. Ronald Reagan People who lack the clarity, courage, or determination to follow their own dreams will often find ways to discourage yours. When you change for the better, the people around you will be inspired to change also….but only after doing their best to make you stop. Live your truth and don’t EVER stop. Steve Maraboli I have discovered in life that there are ways of getting almost anywhere you want to go, if you really want to go.
