Commitment Quotes

“When there is transparency, your employees are aware of how their work is contributing to the project which makes them become more committed to the project.”
― Pooja Agnihotri, 17 Reasons Why Businesses Fail :Unscrew Yourself From Business Failure

“Killing yourself is a major commitment, it takes a kind of courage. Most people just lead lives of cowardly desperation. It’s kinda half suicide where you just dull yourself with substances.”
― Robert Crumb

“So, will you LEAP?!!! Once you have leapt, there’s no way back. It’s a one-time leap. It will define the rest of your life. You must absolutely commit. There can be no half-measures and no half-heartedness. It’s all or nothing. Kierkegaard certainly got that right. The leap must be a transformative event, alchemical, transmutative. Remember Neo in The Matrix. He had to master the “Jump Program” and leap from one skyscraper to another across an impossibly wide gap. If you’re going to make that leap, if you’re going to succeed, you must be SURE. Doubt is fatal. If you choke, you die. When invading armies landed on foreign soil, they often burned their fleet so that there could be no retreat. It was win or perish. That’s how it must be. To leap or not to leap – that is the question. What leap shall it be? – faith, the senses or reason. Choose!”
― Mike Hockney, The God Equation

“There’s no point in waiting for Godot. He never arrives. That’s the whole point. In Dante’s Limbo, the Ignavi are always waiting. Their crime in life was that they preferred to wait until everything was decided rather than commit themselves to a cause when its prospects were uncertain, and now they are condemned to wait forever in the vestibule of hell. Anyone can jump on a bandwagon. The heroes are those who got involved long before the bandwagon arrived. You have to find a cause and commit yourself fully. That’s the first step in giving meaning to your life”
― Adam Weishaupt, Inside-Dopesters and Conspiracy Theories

“Pain and Greed are the drivers of hard work. Which is your calling?”
― Vineet Raj Kapoor

“You never really know. You hope for the best, but when you commit to a marriage, it's always a risk. You can never truly predict what is going to happen when you take two people and tie them together, and blindly throw them out into the great big world.”
― Carola Lovering, Too Good to Be True

“People who haven’t found their sacred cause just drift from one thing to another. They may be consumed by a sudden passion and enthusiasm for something, believing they have at last found their sacred cause, but the feeling doesn’t last, and soon they move on to the next thing. Some people of this kind simply never find their sacred cause and end up as the ultimate cynics, skeptics, nihilists and atheists. They are totally embittered and negative, and frequently heavy users of alcohol and drugs to numb their pain.

Nothing is more important than finding your sacred cause. You are lost without it. When you have assumed a sacred cause, you at last feel aligned with your soul itself. You feel real, valid, authentic, true and right, no longer fake, phoney, fraudulent, false and wrong.”
― Mike Hockney, Black Holes Are Souls

“The ceremony was elegant and yet surprisingly intimate. The pastor read from Second Corinthians, and then Megan and Daniel recited vows they'd written together. They promised patience when it was easy to be impatient, candor when it was easier to lie, and in their own ways, each recognized the fact that real commitment could be proven only through the passage of time.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Last Song

“I can only excel for a woman who has embodied her sensuality.”
― Lebo Grand

“Are you capable of being part of a small group that can change the world? Most people could never rise to the challenge. They are the Ignavi – those who will follow any banner placed in front of them – and the Last Men – those who survive by placing petty self-interest above all other things and know how to ensure they will be the last men standing. Their names will never be remembered. You don’t have to be a member of the Illuminati to make a difference. The changing of the world belongs to everyone. Leaders are self-defining, self-creating, self-starting. They take an idea and they run with it. They inspire others. They don’t need anyone else’s approval, assistance or permission. Above all, they lead. Can you?”
― Adam Weishaupt, The Illuminati

“Commitment is making an agreement with yourself in private and then keeping it in public.”
― Shara Hutchinson

“It’s bad enough when others break their promises; breaking a promise to ourselves is just downright debilitating.”
― Carlos Wallace, The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S: Train Your Mind to Enjoy Serenity

“If you don’t have the highest ambitions, you will never achieve anything great. If you’re “realistic” rather than “idealistic”, you will inevitably accept failure because failure is always the realistic outcome of any undertaking. Samuel Beckett said, “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.” That’s idealistic, not realistic. The realist would just give up. Illuminism is about aiming for the highest heights. If you prefer the plains, the lows, the average, the ordinary, the banal, the bland, the uncommitted, the neutral, the self-interested, the “realistic”, Illuminism is not for you.”
― Mike Hockney, Richard Dawkins: The Pope of Unreason

“But she would not break her discipline to comfort herself in a shallow way. Would no more break discipline with her Self than she would her covenant with God.”

It is our commitment not our work that sells.”

“I asked him why he’s so scared to commit and he said he’s not scared to commit, he’s just not in the mood to commit to me because he’s committed to himself, and I knew in that instant I wanted him more than I’ve ever wanted anything. I wanted to be with him, but I also wanted to be him, replace myself with him and find a girl like me who look at me like I looked at him when he said that.”
― Charlotte Eriksson, He loved me some days. I'm sure he did: 99 essays on growth through loss

“Commitment is a function of capabilities and intentions. 
Commitment =ƒ(Capabilities X Intentions)”
― Sukant Ratnakar, Quantraz

“When a guy really loves a woman, she doesn't have to plead with him to commit. He'd commit to her if she lived on the moon....You don't need to beg for anyone's attention. Make him work to win your heart instead of simply handing it to him.”
― Jason Evert, How to Find Your Soulmate Without Losing Your Soul

“We find the fullness of life not only in options but in commitments.”
― George W. Bush, U.S. Presidential Inaugural Addresses

“You, my fellow Americans, have forced the spring. Now, we must do the work the season demands.”
― Bill Clinton, U.S. Presidential Inaugural Addresses

“Loving others requires a commitments. Its no wonder people find hating others is easier than loving them.”
― Ibn Jeem

“We have become at once the dagger and the wound. Wounds never heal so long as they continue to cooperate with daggers. In a sense, the cure is in the disease itself. Our silence is the disease. Our serious commitment for change and for exposing power abuses and bullies is the cure.”
― Louis Yako

“You can’t run away from this fight. You can’t hide. You can’t pretend it’s not happening. You can’t pray it goes away. You can’t close your eyes and ignore it. You can’t bury your head in the sand. You’re in this war whether you like it or not. If you’re a dove, you had better get real and evolve into a retaliator. You need to fight back. You need to stand up for yourself and your cause. You need to stop being lunch. Stop being nice and polite. Your enemies aren’t. Stop being weak and meek. Your enemies aren’t. Stop being humble and respectful of all opinions. Your enemies aren’t. Stop being gentlemanly or ladylike. This is a dirty war. We have all been dragged into the gutters and sewers. You need to fight your way out or drown in shit. Retaliate. Don’t sit there and take it. Stop being a pussy. Become a lion and roar. Let the world hear your voice.”
― Joe Dixon, Take Them to the Morgue

“Many people detest Morgue. His most persistent enemies are conservatives and evangelical Christians. He makes their flesh crawl. He is everything they hate. They are intent on destroying him. They will succeed if his supporters do not do their duty and stand up for him against the trolls and saboteurs. This isn’t a game. This isn’t a drill. This is your life. What are you going to do with it?”
― Joe Dixon, Take Them to the Morgue

“Even if it's not a happy marriage, you don't knock on someone else's heart. Commitment is bigger than comfort.”
― Sarvesh Jain

“If you leave someone when things get scary, it means you’re emotionally unstable and that’s dangerous. You don’t leave the one you love, you stick by their side, through thick and thin. That’s what commitment is.”
― Sarvesh Jain

“The Commitment Sonnet

Once you commit to something,
Better give up life than the commitment.
Once you make a promise,
Better stop breathing than break it.
Once you realize your purpose,
Better be destroyed than forget it.
Once you stand on your conviction,
Better be broken to pieces than lose it.
Submit, submit, o braveheart,
Submit to something bigger than the self.
Wipe out the self if necessary,
Give all to your goal asking no help.
Life has no meaning except self-preservation.
Your destiny is determined by your action.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Solo Standing on Guard: Life Before Law
