Desire is the key to motivation: but its determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal – a commitment to excellence – that will enable you to attain the success you seek. Mario Andretti
It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything. Virginia Woolf
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. Calvin Coolidge
The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand. Vince Lombardi
Pursue one great decisive aim with force and determination. Carl von Clausewitz
If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance. Samuel Johnson
I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time. Charles Dickens
Do not underestimate the determination of a quiet man. Iain Duncan Smith
Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you. Denis Waitley
The truest wisdom is a resolute determination. Napoleon Bonaparte
Determination becomes obsession and then it becomes all that matters. Jeremy Irvine
Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation. Jack Nicholas
