If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or objects.

A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.

We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.

I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.

Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

Success is a state of mind. If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside of them was superior to circumstance.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.

The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.

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.

A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.

What this power is, I cannot say… All I know is that it exists.

Energy and persistence conquer all things.

Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals.

Nothing can withstand the power of the human will if it is willing to stake its very existence to the extent of its purpose.

Never go backward. Attempt, and do it with all your might. Determination is power.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.

You are successful the moment you start moving toward a worthwhile goal.

Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.

A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

The will to persevere is often the difference between failure and success.

Pursue one great decisive aim with force and determination.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

The world is full of educated derelicts.

Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you.

It’s the constant and determined effort that breaks down all resistance and sweeps away all obstacles.

Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
