After the cheers have died down and the stadium is empty, after the headlines have been written and after you are back in the quiet of your room and the championship ring has been placed on the dresser and all the pomp and fanfare has faded, the enduring things that are left are: the dedication to excellence, the dedication to victory, and the dedication to doing with our lives the very best we can to make the world a better place in which to live.
By the grace of God, I'll be that man.
God doesn't seek for golden vessels, and does not ask for silver ones, but He must have clean ones.
I will place no value on anything I have or may possess except in relation to the kingdom of Christ.
I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life.
In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport. You must also be prepared to work hard and be willing to accept destructive criticism. Without 100 percent dedication, you won't be able to do this.
It is a great deal easier to do that which God gives us to do, no matter how hard it is, than to face the responsibilities of not doing it.
Nothing earthly will make me give up my work in despair.
Obedience is the fruit of faith.
The concentration and dedication- the intangibles are the deciding factors between who won and who lost.
The condition of an enlightened mind is a surrendered heart.
The winning team has a dedication. It will have a core of veteran players who set the standards. They will not accept defeat.
The world has yet to see what God will do with a man who is fully and wholly consecrated to the Holy Spirit.
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, ''Thy will be done,'' and those to whom God says, ''All right, then, have it your way.''
You will not be carried to Heaven lying at ease upon a feather bed.
Your powers are dead or dedicated. If they are dedicated, they are alive with God and tingle with surprising power. If they are saved up, taken care of for their own ends, they are dead.
