“I smiled ruefully to myself, knowing I had already experienced a far greater and deeper union with this man than that which propriety was so busy guarding against. I had seen and accepted our fate here, tonight, on the crest of this ancient hill, and all other ceremonies would be just that: rituals to please the people and make public the commitment that had been made in the privacy of my own heart.”
― Persia Woolley, Child of the Northern Spring

“To have a man whose name is on the label showing such interest, commitment, and determination for the best is a wonderful thing. This is someone who will throw money at quality, who believes in being the best. Never knock it. Would you prefer to have a bean counter in corporate headquarters, someone who never comes near the brewery, making decisions solely on the basis of the bottom line and profit margins?”
― Charles Bamforth, Beer Is Proof God Loves Us: Reaching for the Soul of Beer and Brewing

“A wedding is a beautiful occasion—full of joy, laughter, and celebration. But marriage begins when the music stops and real life begins. It’s not about the decorations, the photos, or the outfits. It’s about waking up each day and choosing to stay committed, even when things get difficult. Weddings are about making promises in front of others. Marriage is about honoring those promises in private—during ordinary days, tough conversations, financial stress, and moments of silence. A wedding is for a day, but marriage is built over years, slowly, with love, patience, forgiveness, and mutual growth. Anyone can plan a wedding, but nurturing a marriage takes real work, real understanding, and a shared willingness to keep trying.”
― Abdul Wahid Sarguroh

“In another World, She hadn't met him at all, or maybe, just maybe, She'd met Him and He had fallen for her just as much as she did. In another World, Love won over Lust. In another World, Love won over Convenience. In another World, Efforts won over Pretences. In another World, Time won over Timing. In another World, She didn't have to lose all her Dreams because She was Chosen by Him just as much as She Chose him. In another World, She wasn't just pretty and successful, She was Happy in a Home, where He held her Heart in His Soul, just as She held his in hers. In another World, their Souls knew Home in Each Other, Just as it was meant to be, not just in this World. Perhaps.”
― Debatrayee Banerjee

“I’m seeing someone.”

“So? I’m seeing lots of someones.” He turned back to me.

“I won’t sleep with you.”

“Is that supposed to bother me?” The corner of his mouth rose in a smile. “You think you’re so beautiful that every man wants to fuck you? Sorry, sweetheart, but I’ve seen better.”

I’d never met a man so cold and cruel. I didn’t care if he found me beautiful or not, but he was so vicious, it was hard to believe. But at least he wouldn’t force me to do anything I didn’t want to do. “I’ve seen better too.”
― Penelope Sky, The Wolf and the Sheep

“Our pursuit of one another requires sacrifice. The effort we both choose to put into our relationship is indicative of the value we place on one another. We've both seen friendships and marriages fall apart, and every time there's been a lack of true commitment -- where one or both individuals no longer puts in the effort, no longer values the relationship, no longer pursues the other person.

As adults it can be easy to lose sight of the fact that we must pursue one another, even when it gets in the way of our own priorities. We can tell people how much we love them, how much they mean to us, but this means nothing if we don't pursue them. We have to pick up the phone, make time to be together, get in a car and make the drive, or hop on a plane and fly across the country. Like it or not, we are what we DO, not what we say we will do.”
― Justin Skeesuck, I'll Push You: A Journey of 500 Miles, Two Best Friends, and One Wheelchair

“Weath accumulation requires time, discipline, patience, and a commitment to the strategy. Depending on when you start, it may take time to see financial gains, and one down year in the stock market shouldn't be discouraging, as statistics show that over time, the entry point becomes less significant the longer you remain invested.”
― Tammy Trenta, Wisdom to Be Wealthy: Accelerate to the Top 1% and Create Generational Wealth Using the Family Office Blueprint

“O, küçük bir kız çocuğunun ayak izlerini bıraktığı kum parkının içinde yürüyen beyaz elbiseli, kırmızı bandanalı kızdı benim için. Topukları soğuktan kızarıyordu, yüzünde asi bir gülümseme vardı ve tüm kayıpları gözlerinin içine gömüp beni kendi dünyasında bir kum tanesi olmaya ikna edebiliyordu.”
― Binnur Şafak Nigiz, Tünel

― Casey Blair, The Quiet Side

“Perhaps someday, she would find the confidence to reject Ahmed bin Walid outright and stop hoping for something that tore her heart in two. But - the thought of losing her connection with him was just as terrifying as putting name to it in the first place. She'd always told herself it was easier to walk away from someone when she buried her feelings for them; she couldn't lose anyone she didn't commit herself to.”
― Chelsea Abdullah, The Stardust Thief

“Commitment is not a word you give to others.
It begins with the value you give to your own word.
If you break your promise once, then the next time you say “I will do it,” people will listen, but they will not trust.
Because trust is never in the promise.
Trust is in the follow through.
When you value your commitment, people respect you.
When you break it, people doubt you.
So before expecting anyone to believe your word, ask yourself one thing.
Do you stand by what you say, or do you only say it?”
― Thanzil Salam

“True greatness demands commitment, not comfort, the stretch reveals the truth.”
