If you want to be successful in a particular field of endeavor, I think perseverance is one of the key qualities. It's very important that you find something that you care about, that you have a deep passion for, because you're going to have to devote a lot of your life to it. (Quote by - George Luca)
I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen. (Quote by - Frank Lloyd Wright)
I would tell young people to start where they are with what they have and that the secret of a big success is starting with a small success and dreaming bigger and bigger dreams, I would tell them also that a young Black woman or a young Black man can't dream too much today or dare too much if he or she works hard, perseveres and dedicates themselves to excellence. (Quote by - John H. Johnson)
It seems safe to say that significant discovery, really creative thinking, does not occur with regard to problems about which the thinker is lukewarm. (Quote by - Mary Henle)

Solidarity is not a matter of sentiment but a fact, cold and impassive as the granite foundations of a skyscraper. If the basic elements, identity of interest, clarity of vision, honesty of intent, and oneness of purpose, or any of these is lacking, all sentimental pleas for solidarity, and all other efforts to achieve it will be barren of results. (Quote by - Eugene V. Deb)
If I set for myself a task, be it so trifling, I shall see it through. How else shall I have confidence in myself to do important things?(Quote by - George Clason)
I heard today that they did not make a decision and that they are waiting a couple of weeks, then they will make a decision. They are very non-committal. They told me to sit tight. Nothing is happening yet. I would like to come back. It's a very weird situation. (Quote by - Mel Proctor)
Your own resolution to success is more important than any other one thing. (Quote by - Abraham Lincoln)

I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life. (Quote by - Eleanor Roosevelt)
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare. It is because we do not dare that things are difficult. (Quote by - Seneca)
In life, many thoughts are born in the course of a moment, an hour, a day. Some are dreams, some visions. Often, we are unable to distinguish between them. To some, they are the same; however, not all dreams are visions. Much energy is lost in fanciful dreams that never bear fruit. But visions are messages from the Great Spirit, each for a different purpose in life. Consequently, one person's vision may not be that of another. To have a vision, one must be prepared to receive it, and when it comes, to accept it. Thus when these inner urges become reality, only then can visions be fulfilled. The spiritual side of life knows everyone's heart and who to trust. How could a vision ever be given to someone to harbor if that person could not be trusted to carry it out. The message is simple commitment precedes vision. (Quote by - High Eagle)
Visy Industries' past, present and future are linked by a commitment to growth, through meeting our customers' needs and the wise use and reuse of scarce resources. (Quote by - Richard Pratt)
There's only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything. I do, and I demand that my players do. (Quote by - Vince Lombardi)
The secret of living is to find a pivot, the pivot of a concept on which you can make your stand. (Quote by - Luigi Pirandello)
If you look at the 'Harry Potter' merchandise sales, they tended to go down as each sequel was released. Hasbro was somewhat non-committal when we asked them what they expected the trends this year to be with the Star Wars-related products. (Quote by - Timothy Conder)
The accomplice to the crime of corruption is frequently our own indifference. (Quote by - Bess Myerson)
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. (Quote by - Mignon McLaughlin)
I was able to see what I wanted to do, I could see the opportunity, even when others could not, and I stay committed to doing it and doing it well, no matter what. (Quote by - Magic Johnson)
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. (Quote by - Winston Churchill)
Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Accordingly a genius is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework. (Quote by - Thomas Edison)
