George Washington Quotes

Success requires no explanations. Failure permits no alibis.

A man can get discouraged many times but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying.

I can only do my best, work hard, be positive and confident and I believe in myself. That is the only thing I can do.

The difference between those that succeed and those that fail is, those that succeeded tried.

The only thing in your control is effort. That's all, and that's everything.

By our attitude, we decide to read, or not to read. By our attitude, we decide to try or give up. By our attitude, we blame ourselves for our failure, or we blame others. Our attitude determines whether we tell the truth or lie, act or procrastinate, advance or recede, and by our own attitude we and we alone actually decide whether to succeed or fail.

Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.

Fortune cannot aid those who do nothing.

In the end, the only people who fail are those who do not try.

All of us, in a sense, struggle continuously all the time, because we never get what we want. The important thing which I've really learned is how do you not give up, because you never succeed in the first attempt.

You can't learn if you don't try.

When I write a goal down - and I truly write them down - it becomes a part of me. That's a contract that I sign with myself to say, 'I don't care what happens - I'm going to stay on this path. I'm going to try and see this through; I'm going to give it my best shot, my best effort.'

You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.

This is my journey. If I fall, I have to pick myself up. If I'm not getting the playing time I want, it's up to me to figure out why.

The one thing you can control is effort.

Positivity, confidence, and persistence are key in life, so never give up on yourself.

Whatever task you undertake, do it with all your heart and soul. Always be courteous, never be discouraged. Beware of him who promises something for nothing. Do not blame anybody for your mistakes and failures. Do not look for approval except the consciousness of doing your best.

I will forgive if the players cannot get it right, but not if they do not try hard.

God helps only those who are prepared and determined to help themselves.

Those who approach their jobs and careers with enthusiasm always find plenty of opportunities, while those who complain about no one ever giving them a chance are merely observers of life. When you are determined that you will not allow others to determine your future for you, when you refuse to allow temporary setbacks to defeat you, you are destined for great success. The opportunities will always be there for you.

Begin with the determination to succeed and the work is half done already.

We cannot fail to win unless we fail to try.

Whether you prevail or fail depends more on what you do to yourself than on what the world does to you.

I would rather fail trying than succeed at doing nothing.
