commitment

Show me a person who is not an extremist about some things who is a "middle-of-the-roader" in everything and I will show you someone who is insecure.

We're swallowed up only when we are willing for it to happen.

If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything.

It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.

I never liked the middle ground-the most boring place in the world.

Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous you get knocked down by traffic from both sides.

The will to conquer is the first condition of victory.

I don't care a damn for your loyal service when you think I am right when I really want it most is when you think I am wrong.

Nothing is so common as unsuccessful men with talent. They lack only determination.

There's nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos.

It was my tongue that swore my heart is unsworn.

If you are ashamed to stand by your colors you had better seek another flag.

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say "I used everything you gave me."

I am in earnest I will not equivocate I will not excuse I will not retreat a single inch and I will be heard.

The moment one definitely commits oneself the Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help that would never otherwise have occurred. A stream of events issues from the decision raising unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.

A belief which does not spring from a conviction in the emotions is no belief at all.

Now I am steel-set: I follow the call to the clear radiance and glow of the heights.

The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.
