I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.
Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal.
The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night.
Any day that we don't give up puts us one day closer to success!
“While faith is not a perfect knowledge,” Elder Neal A. Maxwell said, “it brings a deep trust in God, whose knowledge is perfect!”21 Even in turbulent times, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is gritty and resilient. It helps us sift through unimportant distractions. It encourages us to keep moving along the covenant path. Faith pushes through discouragement and allows us to face the future with resolve and squared shoulders. It prompts us to ask for rescue and relief as we pray to the Father in the name of His Son. And when prayerful pleas seem to go unanswered, our persistent faith in Jesus Christ produces patience, humility, and the ability to reverently utter the words “Thy will be done.”
Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.
And those who urge entrepreneurs to never give up? Charlatans. Sometimes you have to give up. Sometimes knowing when to give up, when to try something else, is genius. Giving up doesn't mean stopping. don't ever stop.
Nothing in the 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 alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Most people who succeed in the face of seemingly impossible conditions are people who simply don't know how to quit.
What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.
We would say, “I may not soon make it to the top, but I can do this next step right now.” Over time the daunting task ultimately became achievable—step by step.
I never say never. I believe that if you really want to do something, there must be a way.
A person has to remember that the road to success is always under construction.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first.
Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.
It's hard to beat a person who never gives up.
You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
Many men fail because they quit too soon. They lose faith when the signs are against them. They do not have the courage to hold on, to keep fighting in spite of that which seems insurmountable. If more of us would strike out and attempt the "impossible," we very soon would find the truth of that old saying that nothing is impossible...Abolish fear and you can accomplish anything you wish.
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Whatever the struggle continue the climb it may be only one step to the summit.
In the end, you're measured not by how much you undertake but by what you finally accomplish.
Our patience will achieve more than our force.
A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.
Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.
Consider the postage stamp: Its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing until it gets there.
Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.
Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door.
For visions come not to polluted eyes.
Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.
The best way out is always through.
Few things are impossible to dilligence and skill...Great works are performed, not by strength, but perseverance.
I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have it.
Remember, a dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim up stream.
Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.
