"Commitment is an act, not a word."
"As simplistic as this may sound, commitment is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret."
"I do believe I am special. My special gift is my vision, my commitment, and my willingness to do whatever it takes."

"We promise according to our hopes and perform according to our fears."
"Sometimes love is best expressed through service. Words are great, but when you walk in love, your commitment must be more than words."
"Women are often belittled for trying to resurrect these men and bring them back to life and to love. They are in a world that would be even more alienated and violent if caring women did not do the work of teaching men who have lost touch with themselves how to love again. This labor of love is futile only when the men in question refuse to awaken, refuse growth. At this point it is a gesture of self-love for women to break their commitment and move on."
"Individuals who succeed have a belief in the power of commitment. If there's a single belief that seems almost inseparable from success, it's that there's no great success without commitment.

"The ego is as you think of yourself. You in relation to all the commitments of your life, as you understand them. The self is the whole range of possibilities that you've never even thought of. And you're stuck with you're past when you're stuck with the ego. Because if all you know about yourself is what you found out about yourself, well, that already happened. The self is a whole field of potentialities to come through."
"I believe the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master in that line. I have no faith in the policy of scattering one's resources, and in my experience I have rarely if ever met a man who achieved preeminence in money making.. certainly never one in manufacturing.. who was interested in many concerns."
"No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined."
"To know who I am is a species of knowing where I stand. My identity is defined by the commitments and identifications which provide the frame or horizon within which I can try to determine from case to case what is good, or valuable, or what ought to be done, or what I endorse or oppose. In other words, it is the horizon within which I am capable of taking a stand."
"Commitment to great causes makes great men."
"The central idea of love is not even a relationship commitment, the first thing is a personal commitment to be the best version of yourself with or without that person that you're with. You have to every single day-mind, body, and spirit-wake up with a commitment to be better."
"Strategic management is not a box of tricks or a bundle of techniques. It is analytical thinking and commitment of resources to action. But quantification alone is not planning. Some of the most important issues in strategic management cannot be quantified at all."
"I will not be distracted by noise, chatter, or setbacks. Patience, commitment, grace, and purpose will guide me."
"Without involvement, there is no commitment. Mark it down, asterisk it, circle it, underline it. No involvement, no commitment."
