It's important to work through things in a relationship. You can't just give up because you're frustrated. It's most important to talk things through together. And that, for me, has been the way I've best resolved problems in the past.
Do it right or don't do it at all. That comes from my mom. If there's something I want to do, I'm one of those people that won't be satisfied until I get it done. If I'm trying to sing something and I can't get it, I'm going to keep at it until I get where I want it.
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
What I've started I must finish. I've gone too far to turn back. Regardless of what may happen, I have to go forward.
It is much easier to start something than to finish it.
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.
I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature.
Think nothing done while aught remains to do.
Better never begin; once begun, better finish.
A man on a thousand mile walk has to forget his goal and say to himself every morning, 'Today I'm going to cover twenty-five miles and then rest up and sleep.
Patience is also a form of action.
Talent without working hard is nothing.
Persistence is very important. You should not give up unless you are forced to give up.
Success is the sum of small efforts - repeated day in and day out.
Nothing in this 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 will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
I have not failed 10,000 times. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work.
Work like hell. I mean you just have to put in 80 to 100 hour weeks every week. [This] improves the odds of success. If other people are putting in 40 hour work weeks and you’re putting in 100 hour work weeks, then even if you’re doing the same thing you know that you will achieve in 4 months what it takes them a year to achieve.
Never give up! Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never!!
No I don't ever give up. I would have to be dead or completely incapacitated
In this world, the greatest rewards of success, wealth and happiness are usually obtained not through the exercise of special powers such a genius or intellect but through one's energetic use of simple means and ordinary qualities.
There is nothing which persevering effort and unceasing and diligent care cannot accomplish.
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.
