Do you say, "But my will is weak and wavering!" Train your will, then, till it becomes steady and strong, and you will be surprised to find how soon the act of willing develops the power of willing.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American Poet and Essayist
Will is the measure of power. To a great genius there must be a great will. If the thought is not a lamp to the will, does not proceed to an act, the wise are imbecile. He alone is strong and happy who has a will. The rest are herds. He uses; they are used. He is of the Maker; they are of the Made. Will is always miraculous, being the presence of God to men. When it appears in a man he is a hero, and all metaphysics are at fault.
- Lewis Morris
Strong hearts within the present live, The future veiled, the past forgot; Grasping what is with hands of steel, They bind what shall be to their will.
- Anonymous
Take Washington, Franklin, Wilberforce, and all the master spirits that have found a name and place upon the page of history. They took "I can" for a motto, and then went forth and made themselves and the world just what they pleased.
- J.C.F. von Schiller
Every man stamps his value on himself... man is made great or small by his own will.
- Honore De Balzac (1799-1850) French Novelist
There is no such thing as a great talent without great will-power.
- L. G. Elliott
Vacillating people seldom succeed. Successful men and women are very careful in reaching their decisions, and very persistent and determined in action thereafter.

Courage to start and willingness to keep everlasting at it are the requisites for success.
- Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) British Prime Minister
Nothing can resist a will which will stake even existence upon its fulfillment.
- William E. Henley
In the clutch of circumstance, I have not winced or cried aloud; Under the bludgeoning of chance, my head is bloody, but unbowed.
- Sylvester Stallone (1946-) American Actor
I think I'd like to be remembered as someone who beat the odds through just plain determination. ... that I persevered. Because I think that being somewhat of a pest to life, constantly plaguing and pursuing, will bring results.
- Orison Sweet Marden (1850-1924) American Editor and Speaker
There is great power in a resolution that has no reservations in it -- a strong, persistent, tenacious purpose -- which burns all bridges behind it and which clears all obstacles from its path and arrives at its goal, no matter how long it may take, no matter what the sacrifice or the cost.
- John Bunyan
This I resolved on -- to run, when I can; to go, when I cannot run; and to creep, when I cannot go.
- Thomas Mann
Human reason has only to will more strongly than fate, and she is fate.
- William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English Playwright
See first that the design is wise and just; that ascertained, pursue it
resolutely.
- W.J. Davison
The life that conquers is the life that moves with a steady resolution and persistence toward a predetermined goal. Those who succeed are those who have thoroughly learned the immense importance of plan in life, and the tragic brevity of time.
