Famous Sayings and Quotes about Not Giving Up 12

Famous Saying:

Procrastination is the thief of time.

- Edward Young

What to do with this famous saying...

Realize first that procrastination is the enemy or all things great like:

  • Productivity
  • Effectiveness
  • Getting things done
  • Achieving your goals
So...don't procrastinate! Procrastination is like a thief, it steals away your time and once that happens you can't get that time back. Procrastination is the ultimate time thief if there ever were one.

Why do people procrastinate:
  • Laziness
  • Lack of motivation
  • Forgetting the benefits of baby steps and incremental progress over time
Know that the benefit of not procrastinating is most likely success but the consequence of procrastinating is most likely failure. That should motivate you!

Get motivated and do it now, don't wait!

Famous Sayings and Quotes about Not Giving Up 11

Famous Saying:

Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the “someday I’ll” philosophy.

- Denis Waitley

What to do with this famous saying:

Don't procrastinate. Take the challenge to conquer another fear, face it and be a success!

Famous Sayings and Quotes about Not Giving Up 10

Famous Saying:

Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown.

- H. Ross Perot

What to do with this famous saying

Don't lose heart. Just after you quit, you might have succeeded. Why quit? Keep going, find out what happens next, and hopefully you win! Stay motivated! Oh, don't take this advice if you're gambling though. Odds are you'll only continue to lose and spiral downward.

Famous Sayings and Quotes about Not Giving Up 9

Famous Saying:

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

- Calvin Coolidge

What to do with this famous saying:

Persistence rules. People with less talent and less intelligence yet just keep going and persist, win. That's just the way it is.

Why let some less intelligent, less talented person win just because they persist more than you do? Keep going and have all 3...intelligence, talent and persistence. That's the true winning combination or success formula in life, in whatever you do.

Famous Sayings and Quotes about Not Giving Up 8

Famous Saying:

By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation.

- Edmund Burke

What to do with this famous saying:

Wow, actually this sounds tragic (a rat and a city drowning and all), but the point is clear. Small things can make a big difference, one step at a time. So keep at it, you'll be glad you did and before you know it, will make huge strides as things happen exponentially like never before! You'd never know this nor enjoy the rewards of this lesson if you quit now. Stick it out, stay with it, keep going.
