Quotations regarding 'Motivation'

Choose a letter: 
Walking your talk is a great way to motivate yourself. No one likes to live a lie. Be honest with yourself, and you will find the motivation to do what you advise others to do.
Vince Poscente, -
There's always the motivation of wanting to win. Everybody has that. But a champion needs, in his attitude, a motivation above and beyond winning.
Pat Riley, American Coach (1945-  )
A champion needs a motivation above and beyond winning.
Pat Riley, American Coach (1945-  )
Action, reaction, motivation, emotion, all have to come from the characters. Writing a love scene requires the same elements from the writer as any other.
Nora Roberts, American Author (1950-  )
If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.
Jim Rohn, American Businessman
The initial motivation of the experiment which led to this discovery was a subconscious feeling for the inexhaustible wealth of nature, a wealth that goes far beyond the imagination of man.
Bruno Rossi, Italian Scientist (1905-1993)
But I find with Francis Bacon, some of the things were in the place, and someone who was connected with these schools of thought, and someone who had a motivation that equals the scope of the comedy and the tragedy in the plays.
Mark Rylance, English Actor (1960-  )
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
Jim Ryun, American Athlete (1947-  )
I think change is possible, but only for individuals who were never truly gay in the first place and who have a strong personal motivation to recover their heterosexuality.
Marilyn vos Savant, American Writer (1946-  )
It doesn't matter who is playing or how old they are. I just worry about what I can control. It doesn't give me more or less motivation.
Monica Seles, Yugoslavian Athlete (1973-  )
I try to give both my heroes and villains an emotional dimensionality which provides the motivation for their actions.
Sidney Sheldon, American Novelist (1917-2007)
Myths are stories that express meaning, morality or motivation. Whether they are true or not is irrelevant.
Michael Shermer, Writer (1954-  )
In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it.
Jane Smiley, American Writer (1949-  )
I don't care about motivation. I care about credibility.
Eliot Spitzer, American Lawyer (1959-  )
I like to put on hardcore when I have to clean my apartment, which I hate to do, but it's motivational. I like old heavy metal when I'm outside working on my car. Music has definite functions for me.
Peter Steele, American Musician (1962-  )
I just knew that economics had never been my big motivation.
Leigh Steinberg, American Businessman (1949-  )
I also like to look at the dynamic that takes place between religion and science because, in a way, both are asking the same questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? The methodologies are diametrically opposed, but their motivation is the same; the wellspring is the same in both cases.
J. Michael Straczynski, American Producer (1954-  )
At the same time, it makes me feel like I have to prove myself to the new guys coming in as well as prove myself to the coaching staff, which is a good bit of motivation for me.
Michael Strahan, American Athlete (1971-  )
That's the motivation of an artist - to seek attention of some kind.
James Taylor, Musician (1948-  )
We had an opportunity to clinch a playoff berth and I think if that's not enough motivation I don't think you should be playing this game.
