Most people fail, not because of lack of desire, but, because of lack of commitment.

Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.

Teach the ignorant as much as you can; society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed.

It’s tough going to bed with a stranger. There’s nothing much to talk about the next morning when you wake up.

I love Rihanna, but I’m not gonna marry Rihanna.

Thankfully, due to the United Kingdom and the commitment of the Westminster government we are able to ensure that money brought in, whether it be from the City of London or from North Sea oil, can be pooled and directed to wherever it is needed most. That is what being in the United Kingdom is all about.

I want to be with you forever and beyond..

How do you give smart, accomplished, ambitious women the same opportunities as men to reach their goals? What about universal preschool and after-school programs? What about changing the corporate mind-set about the time commitment it takes to move up the ladder? What about having more husbands step up and take the major load?

I just want to be as good as I can be with any opponent I have and hear everyone say ‘that was her best match ever.’

What makes the difference between a great player and just a normal player is dedication, work, commitment

My attachment to my wedding ring is a powerful symbol of the infinite love that I have for my wife and children.

Football’s become more physical. I would have liked to have been born 10 or 20 years earlier to enjoy football with the same commitment and desire but without the toughness it has now.

I have to be patient, keep performing, and be consistent.

I have always enjoyed keeping. I used to keep earlier for my state and later didn’t have much chance to keep. But I keep myself ready if ever anyone wants me to keep.

I don’t know whether I am mentally tough or not, but one thing I know is that I like the game and spend as much time as possible on it.

I am not someone who likes to be in the dressing room and waste time; I like to be on the field all the time and be counted. That is how I am.

As players, we look to prepare, and if opportunity comes by, we want to do well, both for ourselves and for team.

I’m an emotional singer, and I put all of myself into my songs.

A passionate commitment to social justice is no substitute for knowing what the hell you’re talking about.

There has to be a social commitment, a social consciousness that joins men together. On the basis of their coming together, they do not transgress against themselves and they do not transgress against others.

To begin your commitment to new perceptions, start by paying attention to attack thoughts toward yourself and others.

If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.

For you was I born, for you do I have life, for you will I die, for you am I now dying.

I know that I will have a relationship with this woman until the day I die. I have tremendous loyalty to her. She’s the mother of my children. How could I be nasty or vindictive to her?

When I look back at my 15 years here, what gives me the most satisfaction it’s not the wins or the personal recognition but its really the commitment, the commitment I felt to the New York Rangers and the commitment they showed me for so long.

The Congress, the Administration and the public all share a profound commitment to the rescue of our natural environment, and the preservation of the Earth as a place both habitable by and hospitable to man.

I’ve put myself in this position where I haven’t set myself up with a Plan B. I don’t have a safety net; it’s all in.

There’s no “I” on the football field. We have a total commitment to each other when we’re out there. There is no doubt. It doesn’t matter. The wins and losses of the game don’t resonate with us. What resonates with us is “how much effort would you give for the man next to you.f

I will not allow injustice or foul play, but if someone is caught practicing corruption if I receive a commission, we will put him against the wall. And we will give the order to shoot!

The action plan is a statement of intentions rather than a commitment. It must not become a straitjacket. It should be revised often, because every success creates new opportunities. So does every failure.

Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn’t what romantic songs tell us it is – love simply is.

True peace must be anchored in justice and an unwavering commitment to universal rights for all humans, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, national origin or any other identity attribute.

Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. Dream is also just a word until you decide to fight for it with all your enthusiasm and commitment.

Love is an unconditional commitment to an imperfect person. To love somebody isn’t just a strong feeling. It is a decision, a judgment, and a promise.

The size of a challenge should never be measured by what we have to offer. It will never be enough. Furthermore, provision is God’s responsibility, not ours. We are merely called to commit what we have – even if it’s no more than a sack lunch.

So, throughout life, our worst weaknesses and meannesses are usually committed for the sake of the people whom we most despise.

When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.

You must be single minded. Drive for the one thing on which you have decided.

I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud.

Adhere to your purpose and you will soon feel as well as you ever did. On the contrary, if you falter, and give up, you will lose the power of keeping any resolution, and will regret it all your life.

It is easy to make acquaintances, but very difficult to shake them off, however irksome and unprofitable they are found, after we have once committed ourselves to them.

But lest some unlucky event should happen unfavorable to my reputation, I beg it may be remembered by every gentleman in the room that I this day declare with the utmost sincerity, I do not think myself equal to the command I am honored with.

I want to thank the dozens of welfare-to-work stories, the actual examples of people who made the firm and solemn commitment to work hard to embetter themselves.

I plan to put something back into society, and not at the head table, not always in the glamour, certainly not with a lot of news attention.

“I am” is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that “I do” is the longest sentence?

You need to make a commitment, and once you make it, then life will give you some answers.

I never felt settled or calm. You can’t really commit to life when you feel that.

Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend?

I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.

Our combat mission is ending, but our commitment to Iraq’s future is not.

We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what’s in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.

Behavior used to be reinforced by great deprivation; if people weren’t hungry, they wouldn’t work. Now we are committed to feeding people whether they work or not. Nor is money as great a reinforcer as it once was. People no longer work for punitive reasons, yet our culture offers no new satisfactions.

Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it’s a feather bed.

I don’t know if I’m ever getting married. I’m probably not going to get married unless I live with somebody for 10 or 20 years. But these people took a chance and they did it. We don’t have the guts that Romeo did.

Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either

I’ve been planted here to be a vessel for acting… That’s why I’m really taking any part, regardless of how complicated it’s going to be.

The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it.

What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are but how you deal with incompatibility.

I don’t want to make money; I want to make a difference.

I always look forward to playing for my national team, especially at a major tournament

Only thing I got to do is be a better father to my children! Everything else gone fall in place!

I would change all my individual trophies for that trophy of World Cup champion.

The world might not have changed, but the way we thought about it, and our ability to work within it, had.

I made a promise, I’m never gon’ change.

The one way to get me to work my hardest was to doubt me.

The most important thing is to keep your team as small as possible.

Health is certainly extremely important, and we’ve done a number of things at Facebook to help improve global health and work in that area, and I am excited to do more there, too. But the reality is that it’s not an either-or. People need to be healthy and be able to have the Internet as a backbone to connect them to the whole economy.

I’m willing to take any amount of pain to win.

And I promise you I will be giving everything and more to win for my team, for my family, and for my fans.

The thing I really care about is the mission, making the world open.

No matter how difficult life becomes, I’ll smile.

Barcelona is my life, they have brought me to where I am today, I could not leave, I don’t want to leave. My heart stays with Barcelona.
