John C. Maxwell Quotes

You don't achieve success by "taking it easy" or "working on it later." You achieve it thru persistence and hard work.

No one ever achieved a goal by being interested in its achievement. One must be committed.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

I believe persistence is a major key to success in any great endeavor. I want to remind folks to PERSIST in whatever they are tackling at the moment!

Sticking to it is the genius.

If you are hardworking and determined, you will make it and that's the bottom line. I don't believe in an easy way through.

COMMITMENT is the first step to every good thing I know, and the only step that matters when it comes to achievement. It inspires and attracts people, shows them you have conviction and goals, that you are focused and determined. And the commitment that is based on values will endure. Any time you make choices based on solid life values, you are in a better position to sustain your level of commitment, because you don't have to continually re-evaluate its importance.

To tend, unfailingly, unflinchingly, towards a goal, is the secret of success.

You can have all the talent in the world, but without determination, you won't get very far.

The secret of success lies in that old word, 'Drudgery,' in doing one thing long after it ceases to be amusing; and it is 'this one thing I do' that gathers me together from my chaos, that concentrates me from possibilities to powers, and turns powers into achievements.

The key to all things is determination.

Persistence pays off.

The bottom line is, you really have to commit to something if you're going to be successful in it.

Practise and practise to make your dreams turn into reality.

If you work at it, you can achieve it.

You've just got to keep playing and keep working hard to get where you're supposed to be.

I am of the philosophy that if you work really hard and focus on things, you will get there in some form or fashion.

It takes a lot of hard work to stay committed and focus on what I wanted to achieve.

The secret behind success isn't as much of a secret as people think. It's pretty simple. It's working as hard as you can to accomplish what you want.

It's difficult to compete if you are not consistent.

Fixedness of purpose is the root of all successful efforts.

Hard work is the price we must pay for success

If you work with determination and with perfection, success will follow.

So long as there is breath in me, that long I will persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles on success; if I persist long enough I will win.

What I did have, which others perhaps didn't, was a capacity for sticking at it, which really is the point, not the talent at all. You have to stick at it.
