George Eliot Quotes

More men fail through lack of purpose than lack of talent.

You have to persevere, you have to just not give up, and you have to know what you want. You have to be able to see your dream.

Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles.

The only failure one should fear, is not hugging to the purpose they see as best.

I've always thought that if you work really hard at something, you can get it.

You will encounter many distractions and many temptations to put your goal aside: The security of a job, a wife who wants kids, whatever. But if you hang in there, always following your vision, I have no doubt you will succeed.

A winner never stops trying.

To succeed, you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.

Winners are people with definite purpose in life.

People do not lack strength; they lack will.

Set out with some definite purpose in life and accomplish that purpose. There is little that the human mind can conceive that is not possible of accomplishment. The thing to do is to make up your mind what you are going to drive for, and let nothing stand in the way of its ultimate accomplishment.
