Ian Paisley Quotes

I believe that you see something that you want to get done, you cannot give up, and you cannot give in.

Perseverance does not always mean sticking to the same thing forever. It means giving full concentration and effort to whatever you are doing right now.

I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up.

You really have to focus on what you're doing and just plow ahead no matter what hurdles are thrown in front of you.

Persistence is stubbornness with a purpose.

Without haste! without rest! Bind the motto to thy breast! Bear it with thee as a spell; Storm or sunshine , guard it well.

Plow through the weeds. Go to the auditions and go to the meetings and be on time. Stop looking to the left or the right. Keep your head down and keep moving.

I don't stop when I am tired; I stop when I am done.

Fixedness of purpose is the root of all successful efforts.

I believe persistence is a major key to success in any great endeavor. I want to remind folks to PERSIST in whatever they are tackling at the moment!

I like to think of myself as a very passionate person, and as very determined. So, if I set my mind on something, I definitely stop at no end to find within myself the power to keep going, whether that involves thinking of a new approach to a problem, or physically challenging myself.

I possess the greatest power ever bestowed upon mankind, the power of choice. Today, I choose to persist without exception. No longer will I live in a dimension of distraction, my focus blown hither and yon like a leaf on a blustery day. I know the outcome I desire. I hold fast to my dreams. I stay the course. I do not quit.

As long as my heart's still in it, I'll keep going. If the passion's there, why stop?

If you don't have a passion, you'll give up.

Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

You have to be steadfast, and right now I'm on a stream train forward to make.

Giving up was never an option

Persistence is probably the single most common quality of high achievers. They simply refuse to give up. They longer you hang in there, the greater the chance that something will happen in your favor. No matter how hard it seems, the longer you persist the more likely your success.

We will stay the course until the job is done, Steve. And the temptation is to try to get the President or somebody to put a timetable on the definition of getting the job done. We're just going to stay the course.

In my experience, there's only one thing that will always steer you toward success: That's to have a vision and to stick with it... Once I have a vision for a new venture, I'm going to ride that vision until the wheels come off.

Achievement requires more than a vision - it takes courage, resolve and tenacity. All you have got to do is plant that seed in your mind, care for it, work steadily toward your goal, and it will become a reality

Most people who fail in their dream fail not from lack of ability but from lack of commitment.

Concentrate on something useful. Having decided to achieve a task, achieve it at all costs.

I don't believe in luck. ... It's persistence, hard work, and not forgetting your dream.

If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.
