Determination gets you a long way.

Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you.

Our notions of self-determination are, on the whole, something of a myth. We are governed almost exclusively by our own peculiar habits, which makes those who rail against them that much more remarkable.

Determination becomes obsession and then it becomes all that matters.

There's a fine line between stubbornness and the positive side of that, which is dogged determination.

Everyone has determination - it's a question of how you use it. Hers is based on power and success and conquering; she doesn't care what she has to do or who gets hurt in the process. In that way we're very, very different.

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

It's all about your determination, I think, as much as anything. There are a lot of people with talent, but it's that determination.

If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
