Letter "C" » Commitment
«A promise must never be broken»
«Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.»
«Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another--too often ending in the loss of both.»
«An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.»
«All government, indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue, and every prudent act, is founded on compromise and barter.»
«Compromise makes a good umbrella, but a poor roof; it is temporary expedient, often wise in party politics, almost sure to be unwise in statesmanship.»
