commitment

One advantage of marriage it seems to me is that when you fall out of love with him or he falls out of love with you it keeps you together until you maybe fall in love again.

Firmness of purpose is one of the most necessary sinews of character and one of the best instruments of success. Without it genius wastes its efforts in a maze of inconsistencies.

Better that we should die fighting than be outraged and dishonored. Better to die than to live in slavery.

You don't know what pressure is until you play for $5 with only $2 in your pocket.

Morality like physical cleanliness is not acquired once and for all: it can only be kept and renewed by a habit of constant watchfulness and discipline.

When you have decided what you believe what you feel must be done have the courage to stand alone and be counted.

Unless you can find some sort of loyalty you cannot find unity and peace in your active living.

I am a stranger to half measures.

Nothing's far when one wants to get there.

Stay up and really burn the midnight oil. There are no compromises.

There is a point at which everything becomes simple and there is no longer any question of choice because all you have staked will be lost if you look back. Life's point of no return.

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times always with the same person.

Never grow a wishbone daughter where your backbone ought to be.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do do it with thy might.

Many a man has walked up to the opportunity for which he has long been preparing himself looked it full in the face and then begun to get cold feet... when it comes to betting on yourself and your power to do the thing you know you must do or write yourself down a failure you're a chicken-livered coward if you hesitate.

What distinguishes the majority of men from the few is their ability to act accordingly to their beliefs.

Perform without fail what you resolve.

What a man believes he will die for. What a man merely thinks he will change his mind about.
