"I knew that I no longer wanted to take junk. If I could have made one decision, it would have been no more junk, ever, but when it came to the process of quitting I did not have the drive. It gave me a terrible feeling of helplessness to watch myself break every schedule I set up, as though I did not have control over my actions."

William S. Burroughs

"Once I get on a puzzle, I can't get off. If my mother's friend had said, 'Never mind, it's too much work,' I'd have blown my top, because I want to beat this damn thing, as long as I've gone this far. I can't just leave it after I've found out so much about it. I have to keep going to find out ultimately what is the matter with it in the end."
Ralph Leighton

John Major
"Even in high school, I'd tell my mom I was sick of swimming and wanted to try to play golf. She wasn't too happy. She'd say, 'Think about this.' And I'd always end up getting back in the pool."

"It is one thing to know what should be done, it is another to do it."
Steve Backley
"The daily mindfulness, consistency, and discipline is ultimately more important than the amount of time. In other words, it’s more about quality than quantity. If you use 15 minutes effectively, you’ll accomplish more than you would be able to with two hours of unfocused, random actions."
Simon S. Tam
"That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased."

"The sound of diesel fuel rushing through grimy pistons and cylinders below a morning-fogged window bored through his ears like a deep-water drill bit, and the thump of his own heartbeat cursed him for breaking one of his many rules."
Luke Taylor
"Habits are infinitely more beneficial to the aspiring student than motivation. Motivation may get you started, but habits keep you going."

"Sports has kept me on the straight and narrow path."
Tommy Lasorda
"There's no crying in the rank book."
