John Darnielle Quotes

A strong passion for any object will ensure success, for the desire of the end will point out the means.

Success is born out of faith, an undying passion, and a relentless drive.

You can accomplish anything with pure persistence and drive.

It takes struggle, a goal and enthusiasm to make a champion.

Achievement requires more than a vision - it takes courage, resolve and tenacity. All you have got to do is plant that seed in your mind, care for it, work steadily toward your goal, and it will become a reality

Passion + Persistence = Possibility

Determination. No matter what field you're in, determination will surely get you to the top.

If you work at it, you can achieve it.

My dream was to become a footballer, hope to become the best someday. And I worked for it. And I'll tell you that the work is the magic of success.

There is no single recipe for success. But there is one essential ingredient: Passion

You have to keep your goal in mind and never lose sight of it. I envisioned myself winning the heavyweight title for ten years before I actually captured it. If you're not driven to do your best, you'll never reach the level of excellence in your life.

You will never possess what you are unwilling to pursue.

Desire and dedication are everything!

I've learned from my experience that desire is 80% of achievement. That if you really, really want something, if you really, really, really want to do something, that the vast majority of achieving it is wanting it. I mean, really wanting it. Not a preference, and not, "Gee, I hope this." I mean really wanting it. It is the desire that makes you do what you have to do to achieve.

The more reasons you have for achieving your goal, the more determined you will become.

You've got to say, "I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it." It's called perseverance.

It does take a great hunger to be successful at anything.

Decide exactly what you want and resolve to persist, no matter what, until you achieve it.

Most people who fail in their dream fail not from lack of ability but from lack of commitment.

Getting rich, or becoming outstanding at anything is all a matter of attitude. You must make up your mind once and for all - you commit yourself - and then just stay with it until you finally have what you set out to get.

Passion is a huge prerequisite to winning. It makes you willing to jump through hoops, go through all the ups and downs and everything in between to reach your goal.

If you want to be successful in a particular field of endeavor, I think perseverance is one of the key qualities.

I believe Success is achieved by ordinary people with Extraordinary Determination.

Success is about dedication. You may not be where you want to be or do what you want to do when you're on the journey. But you've got to be willing to have vision and foresight that leads you to an incredible end.
