DETERMINATION QUOTATIONS
“If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.”

Mary Pickford

“A will finds a way.”

Orison Swett Marden

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

Colin Powell

“Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.”

Og Mandino

“It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.”

Leonardo da Vinci

“There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.”

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it or work around it.”

Michael Jordan

“Never, never, never give up.”

Sir Winston Churchill

“If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, ”Here comes number seventy-one!””

Richard DeVos

“I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination.”

Zig Ziglar

“Some succeed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to.”

Determination is the engine which drives perseverance. But the beginning of it all is commitment.

Josie from Brisbane Austraia DECEMBER 9, 2012
Yes I agree that determination is the ability to keep pushing no matter what. However, this is the same as addiction. knowing when to yield is just as important as determination in my opinion. A strong mind can also be a mind that cannot change direction for the better when needed. The current of determination is good if not tainted with ignorance.

It's really awesome!

Anderson de Sousa Almeida from Colatina NOVEMBER 15, 2012
Brooke, sua história é muito bonita e admirável

Mahesh from Chennai ,India JULY 26, 2012
Stopping at nothing, And doing what's in your heart, You know is right, ...means determination

keenpetite from Southeast Arizona FEBRUARY 18, 2012
Determination is the act of not feeling sorry for oneself, because if we do then negative & destructive thinking & emotions will take control. Our Creator expects to less because we were created in his Image. Brooke has the determination but a strong will to succeed despite her problems, a great example to the rest of us.

Logan from Kent, WA SEPTEMBER 3, 2011
Determination is the ability to keep pushing no matter what obstacles are put in your path, a single person with a purpose and the determination to accomplish such a task is a force to be reckoned with, a force that once going, cannot easily be stopped.
